+### Pattern 4 masculine animate unusual nouns
+
+There are a few words that don't perfectly fit the "Pashtoon" pattern. For example:
+
+- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "مېلمه", f: "melmá", e: "guest" }} />
+- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "کوربه", f: "korbá", e: "host" }} />
+
+When masculine, these words will only use the first inflection for plurals. They will not use the first inflection for sandwiches or for subjects of transitive past tense words. For example:
