juiza

Portuguese

Noun

juiza f (plural juizas)

  1. pre-reform spelling (used until 1943 in Brazil and 1911 in Portugal) of juíza; now a common misspelling

Usage notes

As a misspelling, formed under the belief that the lack of accent in juiz, due to the syllable ending in ⟨z⟩, also applies to its feminine equivalent.
