NOU, NOÌ is, used to be a very household item in Goa of wood-fire days when it (mostly of kondó-bamboo) was used to flare up/keep going the kitchen fires.
Any hollow tubes. The most loved NOIS in Goa were the ones carried by our Tarvittis containing all their shipping commission and other documents relevant to their work Thei were very valuable as they were hereditary and/or if the tarvotti did noy have a son interested in working aboard a ship, it could be bequethed to a chap of the tarvotti's choice. Aanother instance of NOUì lovingly used in Concanim is: SUNNEACHI XEMPDDI NOUEN GALLEAR KENADNS UBBI ZAINA. Used for any tube but most ubiquitously a bamboo one. It served us all, when young brats, as FOTFOTTI, to be loaded wit TEPLAN / fired off...often with dire results: Ninh re Domnic? Udgas aha?
