If you want to know why FN has suddenly got this itch for 'Mhonneo' which means 'Sayings' / 'Proverbs' / 'Idioms' and if you're wondering why FN has got this 'khorzonnem' (itch) which is looking for a khorpi' (scratch) I'll tell you.
First you must understand that FN never issues his dicta without having some connection to Goa 1556, and in this case his dictum is connected to the fact that he wants to fill in the gaps of Valmiki Faleiro's forthcoming Goa 1556 book on Konkani phrases and idioms and proverbs which he is going to issue soon. I think that of all the books which a Goan publication house can issue with an almost guaranteed readership-base if it is a book on cooking, a book on Goan houses, a book on Konkani phrases and idioms and proverbs... I hope that FN has been smart enough to order at least 5000 copies of Mhonn'neo. Best Augusto
