The article is inaccurate

The word "Halpati" does not derive from Hindi or Marathi. It is a Gujarati word and simply a name given to a caste because they own Hal (Plough owner) to do the farming. Just because the word exists in other languages does not make them have the same meaning. For example, the word "Virar" is found in both Hindi/Marathi (where it is the name of a place in Mumbai, Maharashtra) as well as in Spanish (where is means "to turn around"). So does that make the place "Virar" mean "turn around"? See below links:
