@AryamanA, Benwing2: Hi. My own entry of 2015. @AryamanA, you moved it in 2016 to a form with a virama after "s". My dictionary has it without it - ग़ुसलख़ाना (ġusalxānā) and transliterates as "ġusalxānā". Which one is right or is it both? Easy to find various versions. Oxford dictionary has a misspelled form गु़स्ल-खा़ना (with nuqta and diacritics in the wrong order in both parts of the word) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:25, 16 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Benwing2, Atitarev: स्ल is not an easy cluster for Hindi speakers, so both are acceptable. FYI there are more Google hits for गुस्ल than गुसल, but more for गुसलखाना than गुस्लखाना. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 06:34, 16 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
@AryamanA, Benwing2: Thanks. If you don't object, I'll move it back and make an alt form. Apart from the spelling, I can also find Google book hits for the nuqtaless transliteration "gusalkhānā" (=ġusalxānā) from various dictionaries. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:40, 16 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Benwing2, Atitarev: Sure, good with me. I also made ग़ुस्ल (ġusl), should we keep it there if that's more common or move it to the other form for consistency? —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 06:41, 16 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
@AryamanA, Benwing2: I'm having trouble finding ग़ुस्ल or ग़ुसल in my dictionary. Pls do as you think is right. You already made both forms, so fine by me. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
