Dear Artur,

As far as I can tell, the rest of the name is:

sāybiṇīcī igarj   ‘church of our Lady'  sāybīṇ = Goddess, here: Mary,   Oblique stem: sāybiṇī  plus the genitive marker -cā, here marked for feminine (-cī) because igarj 'church' is feminine.

Best,
John

Dear List, 

 

I cooperate with the (Polish) Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography in preparing for publication a list of the most important buildings/monuments in the world. I want to include in the list several Goan Roman-Catholic churches. 

 

The most important of them is the Immaculate Conception Church in Panjim.

 

Now, the church's latin/romanized Konkani name is (according to Wikipedia):

 

Nixkollounk Gorb-Sombhov Saibinnich Igorz. 

 

Since I need to present the name in its transliterated and transcribed form, I'd have to have it also as it is written in the Goan-Konkani devanagari script. 

 

Almost two weeks ago I asked for help a Goan Catholic priest. I also addressed the Indradhanush (Word Net Project) at 

 

http://indradhanush.unigoa.ac.in/public/webcontent/webcontent.php?id=38

 

I asked them to kindly add the names of several other important Goan Churches in both the romanized and devanagari Konkani. 

 

I have no answer from them. 

 

Have I, by any chance, broken some unwritten rule - by asking to send me the formal names of several Goan churches - in Latin and Devanagari script?

 

Dear List, 

 

I would be very grateful if someone of you would give me address of a person/organization that would want to devote a bit of their time to fulfill my request, 

 

Thanking you in advance,
