Usage notes
In Western Punjabi, the lemma is written with ف (f) and exactly how it is pronounced, whereas in Eastern Punjabi (in the Gurmukhi script), the dominant spelling is ਫਿਰ (phir), likely a word with tonal pronunciation, hence the pronunciation may vary per dialect. Though the f sound is considered foreign in Punjabi, and most other South Asian languages, here the sound is natively deriven.
