Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for Avignon, with forms such as "aivgnon", "avginon", and "aviggnon". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
