Where “hora” sits in Portuguese frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 5 spelling variants around hora (IPA ['ɒ.rɐ]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #232 among 409 “H” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for hora, with forms such as "hhora", "hoar", and "horra". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "hot", "hour", "hurt", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct Portuguese form is hora, spelled H-O-R-A.
