Hi Maurice,
Is the word “mankod” or “makod?” I am just curious because
we in Goa write it as
“makod.”

The one type of monkey that can bee seen at temple compounds, some railway
stations etc. are called 'mankod' while another wild monkey, larger in size and
has red behind, that used to be called 'vandor' (in Kannada 'Vaanara') that is
edible hence hunted in 'south'. To capture a mankod, a tender coconut is kept
with a very small hole as bait. The monkey inserts its hand to grab the tender
meat, but can't pull his hand out because it has fisted its hand with coconut
meat and also can not run fast as its hand is trapped with the coconut weight,
it can't run fast, so is caught easily. MD
