Hi Selma,
The word 'tarvotti' mean seamam or sailer. In Konknni, "Tarum' means 'ship',
and the person who works on the tarum 'ship' is 'tarvotti.' The word
'tarvotti' has nothing do with the words of any othe language.
With luv,
Salvador

Can someone help me, perhaps Ven'u, who is good at these things.
I'd like to know the actually meaning of the word tarvotti. I am assuming it is
two words, the genesis being "tarv", and the addition being "otti".
So if possible, what is the word "tarv", is a Portugeuse word absorbed by our
