A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around Algerien (IPA [alˈɡeːʁiən]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #12,019 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "ein Staat in Nordafrika".

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Algerien, with forms such as "aglerien", "alegrien", and "algeiren". 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, "älteren", "Algerier", "Arterien", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is Algerien, spelled A-L-G-E-R-I-E-N.
