پاﺅں کی ایڑی
Heel of the foot; the posterior part of the human foot, located below and behind the ankle, consisting of the calcaneus bone (هڈی عقب, haddi aqab) and surrounding soft tissues. پاﺅں (paon) is the Urdu noun meaning foot, derived from the Sanskrit "पाद" (pada) via Prakrit. کی (ki) is the genitive postposition meaning of. ایڑی (eiri) is the Urdu noun meaning heel, derived from the Sanskrit "एड़ी" (erī) or from Prakrit. Together, پاﺅں کی ایڑی refers specifically to the heel of the foot. This phrase is used in anatomy, medicine (podiatry, orthopedics), everyday conversation about foot pain, footwear fitting, and cultural practices (e.g., touching elders' feet as a sign of respect involves the heel as well). The heel is a crucial structure for walking, running, and standing, absorbing shock and providing stability. Common problems include heel pain (ایڑی کا درد, eiri ka dard), plantar fasciitis (تلوا کی سوزش, talwa ki sozish), heel spurs (ایڑی کی خار, eiri ki khaar), and Achilles tendinitis (عقبی وتر کی سوزش, aqabi watar ki sozish). The phrase has neutral polarity, simply naming a body part. However, heel pain can be negative. The opposite concepts would be "پاﺅں کی انگلیاں" (paon ki ungliyan, toes) or "پاﺅں کا تلوا" (paon ka talwa, sole of the foot). The phrase is grammatically feminine (ایڑی is feminine) and is used with the genitive "کی" (ki).
