gaviaõ

Em muitos livros já li, / Que os oſſos do gaviaõ / Attrahem o oiro a ſi; / Mas eu eſta attracçaõ vi / Nas unhas, nos oſſos naõ.

1793, Miguel do Couto Guerreiro, “Epigramma IX”, in Epigrammas portuguezes, volume I, page 6:

I have read in a lot of books that the bones of a hawk could attract gold; but I have seen this attraction on the nails, not on the bones.


chavearia

[t͡ʃɐ.βjɐˈɾi.ɐ]

O ramo da chavearia está se aquecendo cada vez mais. A demanda constante por serviços e a necessidade de novos profissionais atrai muitas pessoas para esse mercado.

2021 August 10, Ana Julia Alves, “Máquinas para chaveiro: conheça as principais para ter na sua loja”, in Blog Chiptronic:

The locksmith business is heating up more and more. The constant demand for services and the need for new professionals attracts many people to this market.

Nele surge, porém, um outro prédio, sob o número 1.131, com três cômodos, um banheiro e um tanque, além da indicação de haver uma chavearia.

1995, Revista de Processo, numbers 77–78, São Paulo: Revista dos Tribunais, page 274:

In it, however, another building appears, under the number 1.131, with tree rooms, one bathroom and one laundry tank, as well as the indicated existence of a locksmith shop.

Após isso, foi só adaptar um dos cômodos da residência onde mora com sua esposa e sua filha Marisses, de 18 anos, a única ajudante na chavearia.

2010 April 30, Nael Rosa, “Chaveiro tem renda de R$ 1000 reais ao mês”, in Piratini.net:

After that, it was a matter of adapting a room in the home he shares with his spouse and his 18-year-old daughter Marisses, the only assistant at the locksmith shop

Ter um negócio próprio é uma grande realização para qualquer pessoa. No caso dos profissionais que optam por abrir uma chavearia, a aposta é no grande potencial desse ofício, que costuma apresentar uma demanda expressiva de clientes, bem como flexibilidade de atuação.

2019 August 15, Ana Julia Alves, “Como fazer gestão financeira para chavearias? Confira!”, in Blog Chiptronic:

Having a business of your own is a huge achievement for anyone. In the case of professionals who choose to open a locksmith shop, the bet is on the great potential of this trade, which usually presents a significant demand from customers, as well as flexibility of operation.

A chavearia é a casa da liberdade. Quaisquer segredos revelados pelos aços amolecidos nas moldeiras gritam e faíscam chaves plurais que não abrem nada em chaves singulares.

2022, Tadeu Rodrigues, chapter 22, in Depois que as luzes se apagam, Editora Nós, →ISBN, page 72:

The locksmith shop is the house of freedom. Any secrets revealed by the softened steels in the molds scream and spark plural keys that open nothing in singular keys.

O efetivo policial fez deslocamento até o bairro informado, localizando o acusado. Ele estava em posse de duas chaves de fenda e uma chavearia, onde o mesmo indivíduo, dias anteriores, teria praticado alguns furtos em outras residências neste mesmo bairro.

2020 April 18, Waldiney Passos, “Foragido da penitenciária é preso após invadir residências no bairro Caminho do Sol”, in Blog Waldiney Passos:

The police force moved to the informed neighborhood, locating the accused. He was in possession of two screwdrivers and a keyring, where the same individual, days before, would have committed some thefts in other residences in this same neighborhood.

Pedrinho settled down and, rising his warclub to the highest, brought it down on the dragon's number one head. It was hard. It was the same as hitting a rock.

Mais bem alimentados, eram mais altos e mais fortes que os portugueses, excelentes arqueiros e hábeis usuários do tacape (grande porrete usado para abrir ao meio a cabeça do inimigo)[…]

2009 April 5, André Caramuru Aubert, “A falta que um tacape faz”, Antivírus, in Trip, number 176, São Paulo: Trip, page 142:
