Dear Thalmann, Greetings.
re <1 )" baim " in Konknni means "well " in English . So a "bath " seems inappropriate. even a "bath-room" (E) or bathing room = "casa de baim" (P), has no equivalent word in rustic Konknni> jc: response (1) I agree that "baim" means "well" but am not so sure that "bathroom" = "casa de baim" (P) === re: (2) further what about following words : <(a)ministr (K) = ministerio (P) = minister (E) it does not always have to be " MONTRI " (b) dotor (K) = doutor (P) = doctor (E) it does not always have to be " VOIZ " > jc: response I am not so sure that minister (E) = ministerio (P) I am sure that there are many more Lusitanian words which were commonly used in Konkani. but are being decapitated in the interest of "Purity" which I submit is another name for Saraswatness. All others being impure....of course (;-) repeating what was posted in the original post by me "we are placing a provisional list of Konkani words which are being targeted by the Saraswat Revisionists for decapitation" Thank you for your contribution...together, we Goans can work towards putting breaks on these Revisionists! PS: Wouldn't many Goans be taking a banho(bath) by the baim(well)? good wishes jose __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
