Easy to mix with look-alikes

The spelling risk for oito is neighbouring look-alikes ("ovo", "oro", …), not just typos; it is anadjective pronounced /ˈoj.tu/. Frequency #1,099 among 385 “O” headwords. Gloss: "número equivalente a sete mais um; cardinalidade de um conjunto que contenha oito elementos distintos, representado pelo símbolo 8 (algarismos arábicos) ou VIII (algarismos romanos)".

Our generated misspelling index lists 4 likely wrong-spelling variants for oito, with forms such as "ioto", "oiot", and "oitto". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ovo", "oro", "Ost", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Portuguese form is oito, spelled O-I-T-O.
