ABAKA and ABACA

The more you read through the Official Scrabble Dictionary, the more you'll see that a vast percentage of words are given alternate spellings. Sometimes a LOT of alternate spellings.  (To be frank, misspelled words that the Powers that Be decided to include for God knows what reason.)

ABACA and ABAKA are relatively straightforward.

An ABACA is a tree, also called Manila hemp, grown in the Philippines, and ABAKA is another way to spell it.

It is a very important tree - provides fibers for clothing as well as preventing soil erosion.
