Popai or Popay [pronounces as 'Popeye' the sailor man]
Spelling in Romi lipi [Roman script for Konkani] is more tuned to pronounce
as one reads, instead of following the English style of pronunciation. In Romi,
the word "Putt" is pronounced as the English "Put" and Romi "Boot" would be
pronounced like the English word "Booth" while the the English 'Boot' would be
written in Romi as "Boott"
One of the topics that was discussed during the recently held Workshop for
Konkani writers at Institute Menezes Braganza hall, Panjim, it was suggested
that the 'Popai' should be written as 'popay' this is to avoid tripple vowels.
eg. plural of Popai would be 'popaieo' where as 'Popay' becomes 'Popayo'
By the above rule, some of the other words that may be affected as follows.
Zaiyo-Zuyo ( Zaieo-Zuieo)
biyo (Bieo) seeds
yo (ieo) come
Moskoryo (Moskorio)
