| Etymology |
From Tupi-Guarani, Old Tupi, ába = hair, akytan of akytã = short (de Carvalho, 1987), in apposition, referring to the hairs on the head of the major worker. The Old Tupi (also known as as língua brasílica “Brazilian language”) was the main language spoken by the ethnic groups that inhabited the Brazilian coast before the conquest by the Portuguese settlers.
