Dear Victor this is the best I can do. I recall that Ora is something to do with money, but that was decades ago. No idea on Quatcuto.
Beirame - Portuguese for a fine cotton cloth (like in kurtas) made in India. Tafecira - Portuguese for a kind of calico (Chira) fabric from India. Cotonia - Italian term for "cotton". - In modern Portuguese "Algodão" Pecas de cotonia - Itallian "Pezzi di cotone" or pieces of cotton. - in modern Portuguese "Pedaços de algodão" Graa/Gran - Perhaps from Portuguese Grã meaning "grain". Ora (something to do with money?) Quatcuto Cerqueja - It could be derived from "Cereja" meaning "cherry" and applied to the bright red dyed cloth from India.
