náufrago: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "náufrago" es una palabra esdrújula, por lo que lo apropiado es escribirla con tilde[,] el acento ortográfico se coloca sobre dicha vocal, no sobre la u. La voz "naufrago" no lleva tilde cuando se trata de la forma verbal de "naufragar": "Yo naufrago en un océano tenebroso de duda y de desventura sin fin". 3, record 1, Spanish, - n%C3%A1ufrago
