VJP Replied: 'Haum dinvastan' (if this means I thank, one has to indicate who one thanks. vjp: True when used in speech. In the case of learning conjugation perhaps not so. Interesting to know that that Dev borerm korun, is used cheers in the South when imbibing drinks. ********* Mr. Pinto, Thanks for the detailed explanation. I do not know if you have read or come accross this, here is a sample of Old Konkani/Marathi stanza of 'Kristapurana' composed by English Missionary Fr. Thomas Stephens: Fr. Stephens started his acclaimed epic with the following couplets: - O namo Vishwabharita, Deva Bapa Sarvasamartha- Parmeshwara Satyavanta, swarga prithvicha rachanara II 1II. Tu riddhi siddhicha dataru, krupanidhi karunakaru- tu sarva sukhacha sagaru, aadi anta natude II 2II. Tu paramanandu sarvaswarupu, Vishwavyapaku dnyanadeepu, Tu sarvaguni nirlepu, nirmalu nirvikaru swamiya II 3II. Tu adrushtu, tu avyaktu,samadayalu sarvapraptu- Sarvadnyanu sarvanitivantu, ekuchi devo Tu II 4II. Tu saxata Parameshwaru, anadasiddhu aparanparu- Adi anadi avinashu amaru, tuze stavana triloki II 5II. Namo=namaskar Vishva=universe, bharita=filled?(combined=universal) (aadi anta natude = (past,present,future) sarva=all? samartha=able? (combined=all powerful?) Parameshwara=Almighty? (parama+ishwara, here Ishwara means supreme head, God) swarga pritvichea rachnara=Creater of heaven and earth (rachan=creation, rachnar=creator)) rest is beyond me!!! I have only these couplets. I think this epic is published lately in Marathi in Mumbai. MORE BELOW: Believe me, we (those of us who remember) still recite the same way (in Konknni)(picked from a Goa related website) Salve Regina Noman Rannie (Hail Holy Queen) Noman Rannie Kakutiche Maie, noman amchea jivita, amruta ani bhorvanxea; tuka ami ulo martanv, pordexi Evechim ballkam. Hea dukhachea konddant astaum, askar-suskar soddun ami tuka rudan kortanv. Tor tum amche shekaye(xarotinni) te tuje kakutiche dolle amche voir porti, ani hea jivita uprant, tuje kuxichem sodaivin foll jezuk amkam dakhoi; Eh mogali, eh dayali, eh dulobi Ankvar Morye Regards MD.
