According to Domnic Fernandes, of 'AICHEA DISSAK CHINTOP' fame, who is
presently recovering from surgery to repair a Hernia, the actual name of the
fruits is ""BHEMRAM" and the name of the tree is "BHEMOR"!
>From : JoeGoaUk
That was 'Gomi Follam' (Gum fruits?) which has sticky substance and was used
as gum. ( two such trees/plants are near Panaji, one on Campal Road New
Govt.Gym and other near market.)
Those days, we even used it for labelling our school books/note books
besides using pasting letter as said in the Clue.
Besides, these 'gomi follam' we also used 'Xita Cuyam' or 'Beje Cuyam'
(canji) as gum and during Xmas time for giant Star decoration and 'festachim
bonderam' or armusao etc we used 'guruth' as gum (made up of Maida Flour)
There were about 7 entries with just one correct answer.
There were two who said 'Chunam'
Thanks to you all.
