shumaar(m): count, tally

Description of shumaar: The Urdu word shumaar means to count, calculate, or reckon, derived from Arabic roots signifying enumeration and numerical assessment. Unlike English "count," which emphasizes the action alone, shumaar encompasses both the process and the resulting tally. Differs from "ginnaa," another Urdu counting term, as shumaar carries connotations of formal accounting and registration. In classical poetry, shumaar appears metaphorically to express being numbered among the worthy or included in someone's consideration,
