Here is a divergence: túmor or tumor?

Which is correct? I guess it gets down to whether you call it an "aguda" or a "llana"?

The Spanish word is tumor, no written accent, pronounced tuMOR because it ends in an R so it is an "aguda word". Was that the question? - DilKen, Mar 23, 2017

Tumor & there's no grave accent.

Aguda is the feminine form of agudo meaning sharp, acute. Llana is the feminine form of llano meaning flat, plain & word stressed on the last syllable. Llana, feminine only, trowel for construction tool.

I hope I answered your questions.
