1 Urdu couplets and shers with luknat

luknat(f): stutter

Description of luknat: Luknat is a Urdu noun meaning stammering, stuttering, or speech impediment, referring to a defect in fluent utterance. Unlike a general obstacle that hinders any progress, it specifically disrupts verbal expression. Differs from lisping, as it involves halting or repeating syllables rather than mispronouncing sounds. In Urdu poetry, it evokes emotional vulnerability, as in verses depicting lovers' hesitant confessions.
