There is a lot of wishful reading and re-search on Goa, Konkann and Konkanni. Goa, which is a regional state now within the Indian Union (states and union territories), was always a city, capital city of rulers. The Kadamba were 'ruling' *Goa * is wrong. Portuguese did not rule '*Goa*.' They called it Estado da India. What did Adil Shah rule? Not *Goa*. Goa, Govapuri etc. were capital cities of their rulers. Go*y* was always a city, capital city. There were three: vhoddlem, adlem and novem (Pannaji). Good investigation alone helps in determining the past. People's oral songs speak of vhoddlem Go*y.* I have collected at least fifteen such songs from elders in Goa state today and in Canara. There is more. W R da Silva
