Prof. Dennis Kurzon [ Department of English, Haifa University, Israel 31905] a goanetter and goa-research-netter's *"Where East Meets West: The Success of English in Goa and on the Konkan Coast*, has just been published by Multilingual Matters of Clevedon, UK. His experience could come handy to us as we are looking forward to make a Konklish contribution to Oxford or Webster dictionary for globalized consumption. Oliver Seixas' creative suggestions (conveyed by Cecil Pinto) for replacing *diaspora* with a meaningful substitute to designate Goan *community for dispersion* (*communitas ad dispersionem*),as the Jesuits define their religious community that way, to convey that unlike other religious communities it is essentially outward-oriented. Disporia, disporic, dispore, disporially could earn the next *goenchem prize* as a land and sea-breaking contribution to Goan centrifugal society and to its NRI economy, but Santosh Helekar may need more than one candidate, and may not wish to be left out with his own rationalist mind.
