- In traditional Ayurvedic contexts, which influence Punjabi health discourse, the functions of the ਪੈਨਕ੍ਰੀਅਸ are often discussed through the lens of 'digestive fire' or ਅਗਨੀ.
- Because Punjabi is written in the Gurmukhi script, the word ਪੈਨਕ੍ਰੀਅਸ is visually distinct from the Shahmukhi script used by Punjabi speakers in Pakistan.
- In a clinical setting in Punjab, a doctor might use the English term, but when explaining the condition to a person in a village, they might describe it simply as 'pet da hissa' meaning 'a part of the stomach'.
