I'm not making a accuracy or otherwise about the dictionary, but just saying that this is how Dacho Furtad rendered it in 1930. (The reprints of his dictionary do not acknowledge his work. But Dacho Furtad is credited with the Dicionar Concanim-Inglez of 1930, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goan_Catholic_literature ) FN

I had read that Wikipedia is an unreliable site for authentic information but never gave much importance to that complaint. However, upon clicking on the link provided by FN, I realised the enormity of this disservice. It is a perfect example of polluting the internet data-base which I always deprecate as a crime on future seekers of information. The information provided by the link is thoroughly spurious. Fact and fiction are so intimately interwoven that it would be wiser not to trust it at all. To give just two examples: (1) in the box (Sotmantam) which purports to be a Konkani rendition of the prayer only the first six lines belong to this prayer; I could not figure out the source of the rest. The caption too is entirely unrelated to the contents of the box. (2) Several Bombay publications have been listed as being published from Goa. The page appears to have been contribured by a very ignorant person. I believe it would be a great service if this page is expunged altogether.

Sorry, Prof Borges. This is not how it works on the Wikipedia. You have the opportunity to correct all that is inaccurate or incomplete. But you cannot "expunge" anything. To all those who criticise, the option is simple: do something better. Information hierarchies are different in cyberspace. They are not top-heavy or controlled from the top of the pyramid.

Dear FN, This means that an idler is free to upload any rubbish on Wikipedia. An unsuspecting poster can then cite this rubbish in support of his contention as you have done wrt Dacho Furtad. Please note that Wikipedia has no citation to back this insertion. Let us behave responsibly; and I think this is what is expected of every contributor and redactor of the articles posted on it. Let us upload only such info which we can back with documents. Untrue info, however innocuous it may appear, is of no use; but it is capable of doing a lot of avoidable harm.
