Seriously Fred, is this your observation?? Do you mean to say we
are living in the planet of the apes and their relatives and friends???
Can the 'Zungo' be easily identified...because I plan to visit along

Hi Blasio,
Mankod or Makod is one and the same as I stated before, the female monkey is
also known as Makode,
Hi all,
I have been off the net for a while, and upon reading a few of your
comments was pleasantly surprised that this request seems to have
taken off. Mr. Tavares (not Alfred) pointed out vandor, which I now
remember my Dad (both he and Grandpa were born in Mumbai). My mother

Mogall Blasio bab,
Please, by all means, give us all English-Konkani combination words that you
know.
It will surely enrich the Konkani language.
Regarding writing as accurately as possible, it was a general suggestion.
Therefore,
I leave it entirely to you.
Moi-mogan,
Domnic Fernandes
Mogall Domnic Bab,
You said that you look forward to learning more of such combinations...
Then you say. We should write as accurately as possible...
Make up your mind and let me know whether you want such combinations
or accurate combinations and I will do likewise.
BTW, Freddy Agnelo
I think it works this way..
Mankod = man + kod
Where, man = human
Kod = like (may be in some other language. A combo ? probably )
Similarly makod = ma + kod
Where ma = shortened version of man
Kod = like
Therefore, mankod = makod

The 'Devanagari' word 'Maakad' comes from the Sanskrit word 'Markat'
for a monkey.
In Sanskrit, I think it means someone who is playful or mischievous.

All,
Besides makod, what are the other words for monkey in Konknni?
In Bardez, we also call them vanor... though it doesn't really sound
