“F.Veysəlli deyib ki, hələlik ayrı-ayrı lüğətlərdə bir sözün başqa formalarda ifadə olunması hallarına rast gəlinir. Onun sözlərinə görə, lüğətçilərimizdən biri "ofisiant" sözünü "süfrəçi" kimi yazıb. Ancaq hazırda "süfrəçi" sözünü hər adam qəbul etmir. Vaxt keçdikcə bu söz də "xidmətçi", "nəfəslik" kimi dilimizdə qəbul oluna bilər.”

F. Veysalli said that one can still observe the usage of different forms of a word across dictionaries. According to him, one of the dictionarians entered the word süfrəçi as [a replacement for] ofisiant. However, not everyone accepts the word süfrəçi at the moment. As the time passes, this word may be accepted into the language, just as xidmətçi and nəfəslik [have already become accepted].
