Why it looks that way
One word for the bird, the plane and the person in it: "qushlar uchadi" — birds fly. "Fly there" and "fly often" are not split — context decides.
A word with a story stays in memory longer than one learned as a “spelling — translation” pair: memory holds on to meaning, not to a string.
