Rare enough to double-check
exónimo is uncommon Spanish outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ekˈsonimo]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Nombre de un lugar (topónimo) expresado en una lengua diferente a la lengua autóctona de dicho lugar. http://books.google.es/books?id=SqMDBl06A4MC&pg=PA232&dq=%22ex%C3%B3nimo%22.".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for exónimo, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. Our dataset records no confusable match here, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Spanish form is exónimo, spelled E-X-Ó-N-I-M-O.
