The spelling risk for otto is neighbouring look-alikes ("ovo", "ouro", …), not just typos; it is anumeral pronounced /ˈɔtto/. Frequency #11,925 among 385 “O” headwords. Gloss: "oito (8, VIII)".
Our generated misspelling index lists 3 likely wrong-spelling variants for otto, with forms such as "oto", "otot", and "toto".
