The majority of those words are off. If the guy was from Quetta, he speaks the Kandahari dialect of Pashto. That's not the Kandahari dialect.

For example, you said, wuzhay = angry. That's incorrect. No one in the Kandahar-Quetta tract would say that. Wuzhai, in the Kandahari dialect, means hungry.
