Dear Thalmann This theme was discussed quite at length over goanet /goa-research-net. The goanet archive could be of help to retrace the discussion. I utilized the word *pordexporia* in my essay on Opinion Poll published by Independent Goan Observer on Jan 18th.
The idea was to coin a word that would be Konknni and anglicised at the same time in order to designate goanness and to circulate as Konklish contribution to English. -------------- From: Thalmann Pereira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Goanet]RE: Searching for a name To: Goanet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Gilbert Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Teotonio R.
