Pakhto Vocabulary: Words and their Meanings

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Ball is called "Pandos"

[*Mahzala*]

Is that any different to pandoska?

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

I think Pandoska/pandoskey is "Ism-e-tasgheer" of Pandoos.....just like "Mangootey" for "Mangey" ya "Katkey" for "Kat".......
Ball is also called "Ghondoskey"

Ghondeska - to my knowledge means a 'pile' of something, in particular used in the farming context. Though I have heard it for ball before.
