Old Tupi Alternative forms Nheterõya Jteronne Nheteroya Etymology tpw :af<unc> îe-<alt:nhe-> *terõ îá tpw. According to Frederico Edelweiss pt, from tpw îe- nhe- *terõ îá reflexive prefix twisted, crooked, sinuous particle of habit, of customary or persistent trait the [bay that is] very winding, although the tpw îá would have to become unstressed, and he does not provide other examples of the particle in question acting in a similar way. Edelweiss supports this hypothesis through José de Anchieta’s poem De gestis Mendi de Saa, where the port of Rio de Janeiro is twice referred to as the “winding port”. The word tpw *terõ is not attested in Old Tupi, but it is in Classical Guarani (as gn-cls terȏ́), in Tesoro de la lengua guaraní the vocabulary of Antonio Ruiz de Montoya.tpw Edelweiss:1967 114–117 Eduardo de Almeida Navarro does not provide an etymology for the toponym in Dictionary of Old Tupi his dictionary. Compare tpw Nheterõaíba, the name of a village in Cabo Frio.
