Re. Hit and Make approach to Konkani Vocabulary Building

Hi Joe,To my knowledge, there is no "Goddachem Fottfottem" but surely there is
"Goddachem
KHOTTKOTTEM", the one we used to eat afer the Salvi in the church yard. In
Konkani language
"khotkoto kaddunk" is to boil and the word "khottkottem" is derived from
"khotkoto". The
boiling process and melting point you have mentioned is correct but the word
'fottfottem' is
not. Udkak 'fottfotto' kaddinant - 'khotkoto' kaddttat.
