General Note:
In Pashto you will come across many synonyms and homonyms. Context makes the meaning clear. There are two meaninigs of the word "za": 1. one(1) and 2. go. The difference is in speaking. When you say "go", it is stressed more than when you say "one".
** (m)=male, (f)=female, (s)=singular, (pl)=plural
Thats it for today. If I am wrong, please correct me. Thank you.
PS - a question for the moderator: Do u want me to LJ cut these different sections like I did before or is this fine just the way it is?
