I believe you are right. I could n't find this plural in a couple of Urdu and an Arabic dictionary. However, it is in one of the main Persian dictionaries and it is the plural of the word "aan" (moment).I checked 3 different editions of the book, all have " آنات "...
BTW, what is dreadful about this beautiful font, I wonder.Hello! I am struggling with a very difficult Urdu poem and was wondering if someone could help me with the word
آنات
(All apologies for the dreadful font). I would be immensely happy if it turns out as a possible plural of
آن
Thank you so much!
آنات
رک : آن (۴) جس کی یہ جمع ہے .
زمانہ منقسم ہے قرن پر اور قرن سال پر اور سال مہنیوں پر اور مہینے ایام پر اور ایام ساعات پر اور ساعات آنات پر .
