So you're saying it still could've come from Portuguese??

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

From what I've researched online, the consensus among linguists is that it is not Portuguese in origin. I haven't found anyone opining this other than this tumblr user in fact. Anything is possible, but this seems completely ungrounded.
