1 Urdu couplets and shers with ugalti

ugalti(f): spewing, vomiting

Description of ugalti: Ugalti is the feminine present participle of the Urdu verb ugalna, meaning "to vomit up," "to spew forth," or "to yield abundantly" like land producing crops. Unlike literal vomiting, which implies expulsion of waste, ugalti conveys a forceful, continuous ejection or production. Differs from mere "giving" by emphasizing an involuntary, overflowing release. In poetry, "sona ugalti zamin" evokes land spewing gold-like harvests.
