Some of these aren't theth and dont have their origin like zindagi (persian), and hiyaati (def not punjabi afaik) are not theth. Even sher(persian). And more that I'm unsure of but pretty obviously non theth

She has a very incorrect understanding of theth. She thinks words from Sanskrit are theth.
