Talk:کیلئے

Sorry about the late reply. I wasn’t looking at Wiktionary for several days. According to Wikipedia and the English entry contraction, for a term to be considered to a contraction, there has to be a change in prounciation that is reflected in the spelling. Assuming that the Urdu spelling at, کے لِئے, is the underlying written form that is shortened to کیلِئے, the difference appears to be merely of spelling rather than pronunciation (the deletion of the space character and the medial بَڑی یے changed to ‫چھوٹی یے‬). Ignoring the undertie ‿ and the glide, there is no pronunciation difference
 * from کے لِئے:
 * to کیلِئے:.

If the primary Urdu entry is to be at کے لِئے, then perhaps a Category:Form-of templates that could be used is alternative spelling of unless there is another that is more precise. Kutchkutch (talk) 23:44, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Compound postpositions are similar to compound prepositions in English, such as according to, and instead of. Usually, compound postpositions include two components, the first being the simple postposition کا / का in the oblique case, and the second usually being an adverb.


 * کے / के (masculine oblique of کا / का) indicates that the second word in the compound is a masculine possessed item


 * کِی / की (feminine oblique of کا / का) indicates that the second word in the compound is a feminine possessed item


 * Sometimes, the first component of a compound postposition is the postposition /
 * In this case, it appears that /  /, the oblique masculine perfective participle of  / , functions as adverb for the second component of the compound postposition. Kutchkutch (talk) 10:40, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
