Mogall Blasio bab, Please, by all means, give us all English-Konkani combination words that you know. It will surely enrich the Konkani language. Regarding writing as accurately as possible, it was a general suggestion. Therefore, I leave it entirely to you.

Re: [Goanet] Request for words for monkey in Konknni
The 'Devanagari' word 'Maakad' comes from the Sanskrit word 'Markat' for a monkey. In Sanskrit, I think it means someone who is playful or mischievous. 2009/10/27 Alfred de Tavares alfredtava...@hotmail.com: Domnic, I think 'makod' is derived from the Portuguese 'macaco, macaque'.

Re: [Goanet] Request for words for monkey in Konknni
Dear Blasio, Thanks for providing an interesting combination of English+Konkani word, mankod. - man = human; kod = like. We look forward to learning more such combinations of English-Konkani words. As far as I know, the Goan Konkani word for monkey is makod. However, in Karnataka they call it mankod. Hence, I wrote . we in Goa write it as makod. The female monkey is known as keldem. Whenever we write Konkani on a public forum, let us keep in mind that there are scores of people, including Goans in foreign countries, who pick up what we write and learn from us. Therefore, we should write as accurately as possible rather than confuse and misguide them. Thank you. Moi-mogan, Domnic Fernandes Anjuna, Goa Mob: 9420979201 I think it works this way.. Mankod = man + kod Where, man = human Kod = like (may be in some other language. A combo ? probably ) Similarly makod = ma + kod Where ma = shortened version of man Kod = like Therefore, mankod = makod Blasio From: domval...@hotmail.com To: goa...@goanet.org Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:21:43 +0530 Subject: [Goanet] Request for words for monkey in Konknni?
