It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "aller", "Alter", "Amber", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is Albert, spelled A-L-B-E-R-T.
