Rare enough to double-check
salva is uncommon French at frequency #58,926 among 6,032 “S” headwords, classed as anadjective, transcribed \ˈsal.βa\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Féminin singulier de salvo.".
salva has no tracked misspelling variants, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French 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.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is salva, spelled S-A-L-V-A.
