Brazilian portuguese has some particularities: words ending in "L" will almost invariably be pronounced "U"as in put. When brazilian ATC say the name of the brazilian airline, GOL, it will sound almost invariably like the verb to go. So imagine if a foreign pilot requests to cross a runway and the last call sign numbers coincide even in the last two digits, say 55, the following scenario could possibly develop: ...( GOL XX55 had requested taxi previously and was waiting for clearance) ; the ATC eventually issue the following clearance: " GOL 55 cleared taxi..." almost certainly, the foreign pilot will assume that the instruction was for his airplane, to "go"and cross the runway. Sharing information and building a data bank including known cases of runway incursions is a good way to prevent them.
