There are
mūrdhanya
(Retroflex) ट ṭa
dantya
(Dental) त ta
in devnagiri Scrip which you as goan should be aware.
Khotigao makes it signify as "land of lies".????
This is Mindeset....
Even my own village name was talgao every one in school were pronouncing and
writing it as talgao, ...but now it is taleigao
Similar case of Kalapur, Mershi where are they?
We never got a real freedom.
==================================================================
The Goa govt officially uses Cotigao in all matters including website. The
vernacular writers when they mention it in English writing generally spell it
as Khotigao.
I personally find Khotigao a bit twisted sort of and somehow find it difficult
to identify the word with the Cotigao we have known.
