The Goa govt officially uses Cotigao in all matters including website. The vernacular writers when they mention it in English writing generally spell it as Khotigao. I personally find Khotigao a bit twisted sort of and somehow find it difficult to identify the word with the Cotigao we have known. Regards Tony Martin

Khotigao makes it signify as "land of lies". Pls comment Tony Martin... Cheers, Alfred... Try the new Yahoo! India Homepage. Click here. http://in.yahoo.com/trynew
