Terri, I think it is an "alcunha" like Cheri thinks. I have a guess: calanco. Note on the first line, the last word: "Sentos". He wrote "sentos" with an S, when it should be "centos", the correct way. So the word we are looking for could very probably be calanco. Calanco is an italina surname and it is a small ravine, a ditch. Note that some "alcunha" names becomes, through the years, a last name. Maybe this is the case. Isabella myportuguesegen.blogspot.com
