With ref. to the request of Sonia Rosario Gomes, I responded to it earlier by asking help from others.That way I may also learn other usages, if any. I wish to direct those interested in some proverbs related to the Portuguese historical presence in Goa to a link to a distinguished Portuguese language webpage. Goans interested in checking their knowledge of Portuguese language could consult this webpage most profitably. My article there may clarify some of your doubts, at least about one of the proverbs I used. As regards *bannxirem*, it is meant to say that despite any social / economic differences among people, they all share in common the kitchen rag. It is always soiled in any home.
