Paulo, Kujin, kuzner, patrao, sossegad (like zonel, mez, igroz, kazar) are etymologically Portuguese words which are used also by Hindus while speaking Konkani. Add to it falsidad, kuriosidad, maldisanv, konfusanv and even hybrid Konkani-Portuguese words like kerkerasanv and sogleament! Some of these words are niched in respectable Konkani lexicons written by Hindu Konkanists.
Joaquim. -----Original Message----- From: "Paulo Colaco Dias" Richard, before the English words, lots and lots of Portuguese words were introduced into catholic Konkani such as vestido, cozinha, juramento, cozinheiro, patrao, sossegado, (!!!!!), (a)cabar, etc. etc. _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
