The khwâ (خوا) of Persian script is maintained in romanization. Among other reasons, the homophone verbs خواستن (to want) and خاستن (to rise) remain distinguishable. Therefore, خواستن must be entered as khwâstan and خاستن as khâstan. Other verbs having khwâ include: khwâbidan (خوابیدن), khwândan (خواندن).
Tense names
Each language has its own way of naming tenses. For example, the tense of I have gone is called present perfect in English, past perfect (pretérito perfecto) in Spanish, compound past (passé composé) in French and narrative past (گذشته‌ی نقلی) in Persian. There can be conflicts between the names. For example, what they call past perfect in Spanish, means a different tense in English (I had gone). Moreover, not all tenses of a language necessarily have an equivalent in another language. For example, English does not have a tense equivalent to Persian tense رفته بوده and therefore, it can not be named according to English tense terminology: past perfect perfect makes no sense. For these reasons, it is best to introduce the tenses of a foreign language by literally translating their original name. This approach has been used both here and in my articles about verb conjugation in Persian. In other books and online resources, you may see names that are similar to what is used in your native language but please note that not all tenses are discussed there. When it comes to talking about all Persian tenses, the only possible way is to introduce them by their Persian name.
