pukka is Hindi and means cooked, ripe, solid, and also genuine, authentic,
first-class or complete. Pukka was the second word I had to look up today
when reading the mail from the LUG. Corrobate was the other. I wish the
contributors would all use basic English only, or otherwise provide
explanations or alternatively give translations into Swedish.
