Sehra
Posted by syedz Nov 11, 2006 04:44 pm
It is with reluctance that I offer the follwing comments hoping that they would not distract from what is good in your article.
In English you write Sehra, a veil made of flowers donned by a bridegroom or a desert.
But in Urdu they are two different words. Sehra which means veil is written with `seen, small hay, ray and alif`. And the one that means desert, it is written witth `saad. big hay, ray and alif`.
