Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for him is neighbouring look-alikes ("ho", "hit", …), not just typos; it is apronoun. Frequency #19,748 among 409 “H” headwords. Gloss: "caso objetivo da terceira pessoa masculina do singular, ele, o, lhe".
The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for him, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ho", "hit", "hot", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct Portuguese form is him, spelled H-I-M.
