Hi Joe,
The safety pin, which came in three sizes - small, medium & big, was commonly
known as 'alfinet' (Portuguese: alfinete.)

Remember these ‘UKE’ safety pins?
I used to keep one or two handy hooked at my bentin (around my neck)
It even come handy to tighten my ‘chedd’ddi’ or even help
with 'tunttlo zotim vo vanno'
Also used in place of ‘buskotta butanv’ shirt buttons
etc. Ladies used behind their blouses, korpet etc
Eeven had one ‘bhangra UKO’ gold plated
