Cauda longa: rank de “brun” em português
Rare enough to double-check
brun is uncommon Portuguese at frequency #60,792 among 840 “B” headwords, classed as anadjective, transcribed /bʀuːʔn/. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "marrom".
The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for brun, 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.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Portuguese form is brun, spelled B-R-U-N.
