jinela

From Portuguese janela (“window”).

jinela

1. window

   nhonha na jinela

   young lady at the window

Borrowed from Portuguese jinela (variant of janela), from Vulgar Latin *iānuella, diminutive of Latin iānua (“door, entry”). Its Portuguese origin is indicated by the /l/ (a native outcome would have had /ʎ/).
