Fred,
I dont know the Konkani terms for the words you ask, and yet the following
thought struck me. What are we looking for when we say Konkani? do we mean,
as Damodar Mauzo once said, a word indigenous to Konkani, or words borrowed
solely from Marathi/Sanskrit, or are we open to Arabic, Persian, Portuguese
words as indeed many of the words in Konkani are. Cannot English be used,
without making it any less Konkani.
I'd be interested in the responses you get to his query.

For a successful revolution it is not enough that there is discontent. What
is required is a profound and thorough conviction of the justice, necessity
and importance of political and social rights.
