Peths in Pune
Peth, in the Marathi language, is a general locality in the Indian city of Pune. Up to seventeen peths are located in central Pune, and were mostly established during Maratha and Peshwa rule in the 17th-19th century AD. Seven of them are named after the days of the week in Marathi: traders and craftsmen in a given locality mainly conducted business only on that day of the week.[1][2]
Today the peths form the heart of Pune city, and are referred to as the old city, or simply city. They are considered to be the cultural heart of Pune.[1]

gollark: I read that it couldn't actually be unambiguously parsed because parsing some construct required solving the halting problem because the syntax is different depending on some information or other only available at runtime.
gollark: You can lose your sanity through the regexes *and* any other part of the language!
gollark: Only if you don't value your sanity.
gollark: Does exact matching actually work on sound files? It's possible there's some weird conversion stuff going on, and if they're from a lossily compressed source it probably won't work exactly right.
gollark: The enzyme simulating, as well as the folding.
