Re: [Goanet] What is fenugreek good for?

Phonetically, the gamut offered for spelling cumin at Dictionary.com is [
kuhm-uh n, koo m-, koo-muh n, kyoo-].
Spelling: /ˈkʌm ən, ˈkʊm-, ˈku mən, ˈkyu-/
Syllable: cum-in

The cu (ergo cumin, Latin phonetics) should access a ku sound, not a
cuh/kuh which would suggest “come in.”
Queue appears closer to the cumin in perhaps the best way one could use
another word to get closest (perhaps) to a more precise voicing.

We must always remember that although we use the same Roman alphabet, with
various modification; phonetically, they get charged differently to serve
the languages in whose service they serve. A small example: Other than the
word color being spelled the same in English and Spanish, the pronunciation
is different.

Por que? Why? Remember our mothers saying Aa Be (Bay) Ce (çay/sey) Kondgan
ukod ge (gey) ….
They were not using English phonetics!

Again tangentially—
Hence almost no Indian would pronounce the word Mapuca (Mapuça) correctly
unless aware by having heard Mapuca pronounced correctly perhaps by a Goan,
or having lived in Goa. He/She would go with the equivalent of Ma pu ka,
not remotely Ma pu sa! Listen carefully to even how non-Goans tend to
pronounce Panjim. Sounds more like the word pan (the metallic container).

Give them one of my mothers old letters to read in Romi Konkanim and they
would pass out. Possibly here is revealed the tip of the cross of their
disdain that Konkani continue only Devnagarized in schools and other fora.
A convenient cock up. But that is for research scholars.

Enough gnyan/ginyan [not, gin(as in the liquor)+yan :)] for the day.
Glottal stops next?!

Going tangential.
Btw, fenugreek is one of the spices in Panch Phoron (Bengali, Oriya, and
Assamese cuisine).
All five are seeds: fenugreek, cumin, fennel, mustard, and nigella.
