Pronunciation: sources? and Etymology[edit]
1. See the doubts on its enwiki Talk page. Listen also to https://forvo.com/word/qawwali/, some have /v/. [Struck, as it is in Hindi].
2. Also etymology was lacking, ending with قَوَّال (qawwāl) vs. enwiki's:
Qawl (Arabic: قَوْل) is an "utterance (of the prophet)", Qawwāl is someone who often repeats (sings) a Qaul, Qawwāli is what a Qawwāl sings.
so I have added
from قول (“qawwal”) (saying, sentence, promise)
