Hi Fred,
If there is a chance, some changes could be effected in the spelling of some
of the Konknni words:
"Dongra-voilim fulam Dev *ximpta*.
"Moddvollachem sunnem *nhoi *ghorchem, nhoi *ghantt*achem.
"Dha zannancho sangat korcho *nhoi*, koroddachea ujeak *xekchem* nhoi."
Regards.
Joel.

There's a small discussion on the topic of Konkani adages going on
currently at my Facebook page. It's based on the collection by Valmiki
Faleiro. Someone asked:

That's true!

laughs

There are also some nasty casteist ones. I remember hearing one a long time
ago from a relative, intending to mean you can't expect perfection; there
will always be something bad around. But it likened the bad with
'Maharvaddo' i.e.the settlement of the Mahars!
