Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for naufrágio, with forms such as "anufrágio", "nafurágio", and "nauffrágio". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

No documented word history exists for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Portuguese form is naufrágio, spelled N-A-U-F-R-Á-G-I-O.
