Cauda longa: rank de “unu” em português
Rare enough to double-check
unu is uncommon Portuguese outside the top frequency list, classed as anumeral, transcribed /ˈu.nu/. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "um".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for unu, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. We don't track a confusable pairing for this entry, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Portuguese form is unu, spelled U-N-U.
