Are you conflating (Eastern) Panjabi, code 'pa', with Western Panjabi,
code 'pnb'? It is the latter, as far as I know, which is written in
a variant of Arabic script. Wikipedia partly conflates them. It does
say that Devanagari script is mostly used by Panjabi-speakers outside
Panjab, which seems like the kind of specialized use that should not
block a Suppress-Script header.
