Comment:

 Villages and hamlets are on the same level in Nominatim, only one of the
 two can appear in the address.

 Above results are approximate because the village appears in the OSM data
 as a place node only. Nominatim has to make a guess according to the
 closest place node it finds. If you want more precise results, enter the
 exact extents of the village as a boundary polygon in OSM.
