Rare enough to double-check
Pérgamo is uncommon Spanish outside the top frequency list, classed as aproper noun, transcribed [ˈpeɾɣ̞amo]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Antigua ciudad griega y posteriormente romana que se encontraba en la costa egea de Asia Menor.".
Pérgamo doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable Spanish rules. 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.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, 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 Pérgamo, spelled P-É-R-G-A-M-O.
