tova,
well, I loved your curiosity in try to know something of the language we
speak in Brasil. 
the dictionary says that "abraços" can be translated as "embrace" and we
normally used it finishing a letter using it as "with the best wishes", in a
colloquial way

arthur.   your description of the pronounce for my "abraços" was really
special. I loved it

Hi Tova
 
"Abraços" means "hugs" but is used in a more coloquial sense than in English

 
it's pronnound (difficult question) as
 
A - muet A
BR - like iit would be in English
A - strong A, no equivalent in Engllish as far as I can think now
Cos - lihe the soung of distreSSES with the "e" replaced by an "u" like in
"put".
 
Hope this helps...
 
Wishes of peace for your region (each day more difficult, I am afraid)
 
Artur
