We have a small cheque for the school in Ponda, they
earned it by giving us Suneela !! Need address.
Whilst on the subject, Ponda is also Fonda to
Goans, and, depending on the mood you in, Fondya too:
both mean the same thing, a lagoon, as does fonda in
olde Saxon english, which brings us back to the common
origin of our Indo-European tongues, to Egyptian
Coptic and that narrow escape route along the Galilee
that took the Kaltics ( Celtics ! ) north to Turkey.
One can trace the evolution of Europe's languages as
those old Nile rafters sailed up the Danube from its
Turko-Moldova estuary:it's called the Dunay(doonay)
there, Doonarea in Romania, Doonav in Bulgaria, Doona
in Hungary, Donau in Austria. Vestido, Vestament,
Vestama(sanskrit) go back to that common origin, as do
denta-teeth, agni-ignite, do-dos, sete, oito,nove,
dix, none of the great mass of similarity has any
connection with the arrival of the Portuguese language
on our coast ten thousand years later. Yes, Suneela
dear, guilty again, we took Sassasta( sixty villages)
and turned it to Saxxtee and Salcette, and if sesseste
means the same thing on the Algarve, the coincidence
is as pure as the salt from the salteiros the
Phoenicians first established on the Portuguese coast.
