- readings: one spelling, different short vowels (ملک: مَلَک، مَلِک، مِلک، مُلک), each with form,

- always: same consonants with other long vowels (consonant-skeleton regex)
- not found: inflection stems (آنکھوں -> آنکھ, جاتے -> جانا), prefix regex, trigram similarity
- Persian/Arabic words with no Urdu entry: Urdu translations via English first, then English, then
their own language; filler glosses (especially, usually…) dropped
- punctuation, dashes and spaces dropped from selected words and lookup keys; clean titles
