Is there a separet meaning of Thal or its just part of phrase ‘Jal Thal’?
BTW, Jal Thal is used for ‘cats and dogs rain’.
Re: Jal Thal
sab se pahle to yeh bataaiye k aap rozaana itne dilchasp threads lagaate haiN to:
aate kahaN se haiN yeh mazaamiiN Khayaal meN? :)
in Hindi
thal = land
indian army ko Thal Sena bhii kahte haiN.
agricultural land ko Thalli zameen kahte haiN :)
jal-thal also means water-logged area
Re: Jal Thal
ye wala particular khayal to 'Kabir Bani' paRhte huwe aaya.. baqi bhi aise hi kuch paRh kar dekh kar hi aata hai.. jo ke aksar thread main mention bhi hota hai.
so Thal = Khushki / Zameen.
There is a whole region in Pakistan known as Thal (around Bahawalpur). Then desert Thar also seems to be variant of Thal, as in many languages 'L' and 'r' are interchangeable.
BTW, if Thal is Khushki, then 'Jal thal hogaya' should be 'Thal Jal hogaya' when it rains. kiya khayal hai?
Re: Jal Thal
yeah…very likely…
Chinese ‘R’ ko ‘L’ kahte haiN…yeh log ‘RIGHT’ ko 'LAI" lahte haiN…Urdu meN aisii koii misaal aapke zehn meN hai?
yeah, yeh Khayaal mere zehn meN bhii aayaa k is lafz ko “Thal jal” honaa chaahiye kiuN k paanii ke aa ajaane se thal jal ban jaatii hai.
mere Khayaal se yahaN matlab hai k zameen aur paanii meN farq miT jaataa hai…zameen aur paanii aapas meN Ghalat malat ho jaate haiN. shaayad is ma’nii ke ai’tabaar se aisaa kahaa jaataa ho. 
Re: Jal Thal
Urdu main to nahin pata, but in Sindhi, there are examples. like this Jal (Pani) is Jar in Sindhi.
