Nunavut is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as aproper noun. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Territorium im Norden Kanadas".
Nunavut has no tracked misspelling variants, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
