- The word جملہ is a loanword from Arabic. In its original Arabic context, it was often used in mathematics and accounting to describe the 'total' or 'sum' of a list.
- When people speak of 'catchphrases' or 'idiomatic phrases' in Urdu, they often use the word محاورہ, which literally means 'a practice' or 'a custom'.
- In formal Urdu calligraphy, the way جملے are spaced can change the perceived rhythm of the text, acting almost like musical notation.
