- Carrossas(wagons), Fonfinha (Fluffy?), Preto (Black), Bonito (Beautiful),
Quieto(Still), Benfeito (well manufactured), Cidade(City),
Rozenina(son/daughter of a woman named Rosa)
- Mello Mellão (Mello Melon), Mello Piné (?), Mello Pedreiro (Mello
Stonemason), Mello Gafanhoto (Mello Grasshopper).
Also I have not found any PINHEIRO…
