Re: Local names of professions?
Have you heard word 'kasbi' for tawaif.. Kasbi seems to be from Arabic Kasab.
nope...yes...sounds like arabic ward kasab. it's amusing how the words/phrases from English, French, Hindi, Arabic and Faarsii are coined into the local zabaan.
some examples in my poorbii zabaan:
ra'us = ravish
tahaddar = teh-dar-teh
kheesa = keesa = jeb
singal = signal
paasii = posse' [French]
etc
Re: Local names of professions?
kheesa is also common in Sindhi for jeb… kheesa khali, muRs mawali (muRs= banda) 
BTW jeb is Persian? Jeb tarash became jeb katra in Urdu.. Is there any other local word for this profession?
Re: Local names of professions?
wow…amazing co-incidence. 
jeb katraa hii maiN ne bhii sunaa hai…paakiT maar bhii hotaa hai…
jeb is an Arabic word as far as i know.
btw, jeb katraa meN lafz katraa is from the Faarsii root word “katardan” = katarnaa
Re: Local names of professions?
what is Hindi word for katarna?
Re: Local names of professions?

Re: Local names of professions?
what is Hindi word for katarna?

Is dallal local name? or came from Persian?
