haan wohi.. but wasn't sonaar common than saada-kaar? I mean we been hearing word sonaar / johri for jeweler and at first instance I couldn't recognise the profession till the writer later gave some descriptions of the business.

Why they pronounce 'gh' as 'k'? Is this pronunciation common among all Punjabis or specific to some regions.

sonaar more widely used but it's a Hindi word while saadah kaar is a persianized Urdu word. someone who wants to writie in pure/Khaalish Urdu then he/she will tempt to use this word.
