Archaic/Seldom-used Urdu words

Re: Archaic/Seldom-used Urdu words

Hindi and Urdu share basic vocabulary and differ only in literary words. There was no language called Hindi or Urdu some 500 years ago. To confuse things more, Urdu itself was called Hindi at sometime in history.
So these words belong as much to Urdu as the present-day Sanskritized Hindi.

That’s my take on it.
