Val,
As we are at it, you could add one more
Att-modo Bosteao & Boroupi Alfi
Whereas Att-modo Bosteao was after he was in a road accident where one of
his injured hand had to be amputated from the elbow. But he lived a full
life, even mastering the left hand for writing.
As for Boroupi Alfi, he never had time for anyone as he was always writing
something. He was even the sarpanch of the village at one time.
Cheers
floriano

Subject: Re: [Goanet] Moira - the nicknames
Why me, Chacha Alfred, when you yourself are seemingly reluctant to
identify even the village, much less the family name, of that rear-oriented
household?
I have, of course, a hilarious repertoire that reflects the old Goan
musicality,
wit and wisdom in nicknaming individuals and households -- more than
100 actually, and still adding! -- from my home-village, Margao. I will
reserve
that list for its original purpose, a book on Margao, and then face the
music
if any from ruffled feathers in law courts! But for any interested
Goanetter,
will copy what I wrote on the subject in my now defunct Sunday Herald(Goa)
column on Jan 18, 2008 ... BELOW your mail that follows (it also featured
on Goanet then.)
Regards, v
