(Helga do Rosario asks: But what does 'libertable' mean Paulo? I could not find it in any of my
regular dictionaries.)

Exactly my question, Helga! Erudite Paulo and waffling Veronica do make strange bedfellows, but they have found common ground in making Goa 'liberatable' to the extent that Paulo concurs with Veronica's waffling 110 per cent!

Maybe they are planning to revive organic farming in Goa by reclaiming the Dabolim airfield from the navy and making it irrigatable. Such a stupendous task calls for a grandiose word to describe their valiant fight and they seem to have decided to call it 'liberatable' instead of the mundane 'irrigatable'.

Am I right, Paulo?

P.S: Wonder whether Cecil had a hand in coining this new word.
