gravency/gravencies

[edit]

In w:Pashtun Tahafuz Movement there's a quote "Genuine Gravencies" from an official Pakistani government document (see the scan). Search engines mostly point to the Wikipedia article as a source for this word, although there are a few occurrences in other South Asian sources. My guess is that this is a South Asian variant of grievances, based on the fact that if a grievance is serious, then it could be described as grave.

A single government document and a blog are weak for deciding that a word exists in real usage, so I'm not currently proposing to add it as a variant, nor as a new entry. This talk page is probably a good place for submitting grievances or gravencies regarding the current grave state of affairs of the word's absence from en.Wiktionary.
