Wawrina, for sure the word written تراړ means a 3 yrs old camel. It can also have other meanings. but I don't know them.
I don't think I made mistake trying to transcribe the word TRARR in Pashto alphabet.

You wrote tarrarr - I think in Pashto it would be تړاړ or something like this. I don't argue - maybe it means a big stone.
I found a similar word for a large stone - tarr - تړ

[Friend]

It is actually traarr تراړ and not taraarr.
In villages when go to our fields and there we bake "wagi" i don't know what is this word called in English. That whole event is called traarr. I miss that a lot for the last few years.

Do you know "wagay" in Pashto ?

[Friend]

yes

it is corn

Right and another meaning is "hungry" of the same word.
The first meaning is corn is a noun and the second one hungry is adjective.

[Friend]

i think the pronounciation is different

WAGAY = corn

WUGAY = hungry <======= som pronouce this differently

in places like khost they would say WAGAY YAMA , WAGAY KHOREMA <===so they say both the same.
in places like kunar jalalabad they would say WAEGEY YEMA, WAGAY KHOREMA

We also say wagay yam.
