Usage notes

While the words मुलगा (mulgā) and मुलगी (mulgī) are often used interchangeably with the word मूल (mūl), the words मुलगा (mulgā) and मुलगी (mulgī) should be discriminated from the word मूल (mūl). The letter ग (but not the word-final आ) may be deleted when the word मुलगा (mulgā) is declined making it appear similar to मूल (mūl).
