Rare enough to double-check

kol is uncommon Spanish at frequency #61,708 among 248 “K” headwords, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ˈkol]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Propio o relacionado con la etnia tribal del mismo nombre originarios del este de la India.".

kol doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Spanish form is kol, spelled K-O-L.
