A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around adelige (IPA [ˈaːdəlɪɡə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #36,775 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for adelige, with forms such as "addelige", "adeilge", and "adelgie". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 5 confusable-pair relationships, "Adlige", "adligen", "adeligen", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is adelige, spelled A-D-E-L-I-G-E.
