Thank you Domnic bab. I too come from 'Xennachem Ghor' (Late 70s), then switched to Red Cement floor followed by Tiles and finally Marbles.
-besides Damor/Tarr, I also remember people using Dry cell/battery powder as mixture (cowdung application) -Like in wall paintings etc, cow dung application was also done in 1-3 coats. - Our elders always said that People who sleep on cow-dung floor do not catch cold as it does on cemented/tiles floor etc -Cow dung cakes (for fuel) are still used by the rural people in Goa. One can see plenty of them on the way from airport/Vasco down Chicalim slope towards your left. -Cow dung water/solution is applied or spread over coconut saplings (Kovate) and I think this prevent animals from eating. Other related words; Xenna Ghor/Zomin Xennachi Gairi Xennacho tapo/tapi Xennatlo killo Xenna vas Xenna voddxik Xenna gobor Xenna sarem Xenna uzo Xenna lepoll Finally, let me remind you of a traditional kids' Kanni (story) of KOL MAMACHI. Ek alslolo Kolmam (Uncle Fox) Ek alsloli Kolmami (Aunty Fox) Kolmamchem Ghor Xennachem Kolmamechem ghor mennachem ....
