A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around allergisch (IPA [ˌaˈlɛʁɡɪʃ]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #20,486 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for allergisch, with forms such as "alelrgisch", "alergisch", and "allegrisch". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "allergische", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is allergisch, spelled A-L-L-E-R-G-I-S-C-H.
