It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "CUP", "cum", "Cut", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct German form is cuba, spelled C-U-B-A.
