The two words are pronounced differently in Salcete: mono = dumb; mhono =
bogeyman. No masculine noun in Konkani ends in a nasal vowel. Mono is used both
as a noun (dumb person) and as an adjective, whereas Mhono is used only as a
noun.

Hello Domnic-Bab,
First of all Konkani words can have multiple meanings in Salcete and in Bardez.
In Salcete villages the Intruz (Carnaval) Monom or Mono, with an acute accent
on second o makes it Monom, a feared figure at Carnaval time or boogey-man.
But if you have an acute accent on first o
I think the word is mon-mono if am not mistaken

We still use the word NONO in Bardez to frighten the kids. My mother also
used the same word (Nono) to frighten us. She hailed from Benaulim, Salcete.
