گنتارا ، تختۂ شمار
Explanation:
جی ہاں باسط صاحب، مختلف لغات میں یہی لفظ لکھا ہے۔، جو زیادہ قرین قیاس ہے۔ تاہم تختۂ شمار بھی استعمال ہو سکتا ہے۔

اگرچہ یہ لفظِ واحد نہیں ہے لیکن "گنتی سکھلانے والا چوکھٹا " بھی اسکے معانی کیلئے استعمال ہو سکتا ہے۔ ۔

neutral  Kamran Nadeem: Dear Mr. Abdul Wahab, I think the answer submitted by Mr. Aburiaz is comprehensive and well to the mark. You also repeated the same answer. This is against the rules of the Kudoz, if you submit a second answer; your answer should be different.
