If I am not mistaken, 'caixa' is in PT and ES (languages) also a financial institution, usually a bank (& that word in turn comes from the bench, ' banco', the money handlers were doing their business on in the middle ages ... (sorry to make just a cameo appearance on this list, but I couldn't resist ;-) Cheers to all, p+7D!&H!

Cândido de Figueiredo used to criticize the Portuguese for their “anglicismos” and “galicismos”.
