Onde “-th” fica na frequência do português
Rare enough to double-check
-th is uncommon Portuguese outside the top frequency list, classed as asuffix. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "usado para transformar um numeral cardinal em ordinal (com exceção de first, second e third)".
The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for -th, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable Portuguese rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology 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 -th, spelled --T-H.
