Etymology
Noun
bahia m (plural bahias)
- abura (Mitragyna ledermannii, syn. M. ciliata)
- 1968, Pierre Billard, Le Cameroun fédéral: essai de géographie humaine et économique[4]:
- S’il s’agit au contraire de menuiserie intérieure courante, on préfère le bahia, le bibolo, le fraké, l’abein, le landa qui sont plus légers.
- To the contrary, when it comes to everyday interior carpentry, people prefer the abura, the African walnut/tigerwood (Lovoa trichilioides), the limba, the abein, the landa (Erythroxylum mannii) which are lighter.
Portuguese
Noun
bahia f (plural bahias)
- Pre-reform spelling (used until 1943 in Brazil and 1911 in Portugal) of baía; now a common misspelling.
Usage notes
Remains a common misspelling in Brazil due to confusion with the proper noun Bahia, which was excepted from the 1943 orthographic reform.
