Make sure you join in Drunken Master! I noticed you saying that you had just picked up the written form of the language yourself in the thread about Bhai Vir Singh's study of devi. Read little pieces here and there, as often as possible to hone your ability. Doing small translations helps big time.

Loving the name by the way!

Here are a couple of new ones:

Is our knowledge/understanding doing this?

ਵਿਕਾਸਸ਼ੀਲ

Is this what it is going to take to change things?

ਅੰਦੋਲਨ

vikaas means economy, so would vikaassheel mean economy-wise or economical? i think it would prob mean economically.

When I looked up ਵਿਕਾਸ, I came across definitions related to that for ਵਿਕਾਸਸ਼ੀਲ i.e development, progress, rise, expansion, evolution for the former and developing, progressing, progressive, evolving for the latter.

Looking up economics, I came across: ਅਰਥਸ਼ਾਸਤਰ, ਅਰਥ-ਵਿਗਿਆਨ; ਅਰਥਵਿਵਸਥਾ. Economy is ਅਰਥ ਪ੍ਰਬੰਧ, ਆਰਥਕ ਦਸ਼ਾ, ਅਰਥਚਾਰਾ; ਬੱਚਤ.

When I came across the word ਵਿਕਾਸਸ਼ੀਲ it was used in a way that referred to the development or growth of understanding.

Andolan is what we would now call a lehar, it means a movement.

Yep.

Philosopher.

Yep.

I can see how you came to your own conclusion though Chatanga. I presume you linked the word to ਦਰਸ਼ਨ.

ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟਮਾਨ

Right again!

Dude give me some tips already!

Chatanga veer - I think you may have thought of ਦਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ. Which is about as close as you could get to the word, so very easily done.

PS - You lot are making me realise just how crap my knowledge is! We all have to start somewhere I guess...........

Okay some new ones:

There was a slight typo in spelling with one word folks. Just to straighten it out, the word is:

ਮ੍ਰਿਦੁਲ

It seems to denote softness, tenderness and perhaps gentleness?

Any more offers on ਖਲਤ ਮਲਤ?

PS - Where are the guys from back home on this thread?

Maybe they are straight unparh pendus and of no use here?

You guys are probably right but the context in which I read it seemed to imply a mixing or fusion of sorts?

It is 'mix'!

I think it is sometimes spelt ਖਲ਼ਤ ਮਲ਼ਤ with a .

Brothers, I swear this letter (lalla pahr bindhi) never existed when I learnt the alphabet as a kid? But you see it quite frequently now.

Can anyone shed some light on this. What is the difference in pronunciation between a standard lalla and the lalla pahr bindhi?

Correction

ਕਨਖਲਦੇ

An update on the above word:

It was a printing error that attached two words, what it should have been was:

ਕਨਖਲ ਦੇ meaning 'of Kanakal'

Kanakal is apparently some town near Hardwaar or as Mahan Kosh puts it:

ਗੰਗਾ ਕਿਨਾਰੇ ਹਰਿਦ੍ਵਾਰ ਤੋਂ ਦੋ ਮੀਲ ਪੱਛਮ ਵੱਲ ਇੱਕ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ.

Here is a compound word for you.

ਮਿਲ-ਗੋਭਿਆ

We probably all know what 'mill' means but what does the second part denote?
