II think it might be" rua do engenho " (literally "street of the engine"' which might be interpreted as "street of the mill". When I first visited Fajanzinha in 1972, "tia Filomena" (my mother's youngest sister) had just had a new house built on a narrow street along a small stream that runs toward the ocean. The slope of the stream toward the ocean was steep enough that it could be damned up at intervals creating small reservoirs that stored water that could be used to power small mill stones which could be used to grind corn. I am copying a cousin who can probably confirm this story. That was my first trip to Flores. John Vasconcelos
