@Atitarev, AryamanA Need help declining this word as noun and adjective. Glosbe [1] has examples both of जुडवों and जुड़वाओं, as well as जुड़वें, जुड़वे (without anusvara), जुड़वा (without anusvara) as both singular and plural, etc. There is also the example on this page of जुड़वाँ बच्चे "twins" and on Glosbe of जुड़वाँ लड़के "twin boys"; I'm not sure whether in this usage the term is a noun or adjective.

@Benwing2, AryamanA: McGregor says the adjective is indeclinable: "जुड़वाँ juṛvāṁ [cf. H. joṛā], adj. inv. & m. 1. adj. twin, paired. 2. m. a twin; twins." --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:37, 10 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Benwing2, AryamanA: I've added the declension for the noun and made the adjective indeclinable. Pls check. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:45, 10 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Atitarev, Benwing2: Looks good. Added the altform (which covers the non-anusvara uses), and the unmarked declension variant. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 01:59, 11 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
