A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around belegten (IPA [bəˈleːktn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #13,557 among 5,818 “B” headwords. Wiktionary lists 12 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for belegten, with forms such as "bbelegten", "beelgten", and "belegetn". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "bewegen", "Belgien", "bewegte", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is belegten, spelled B-E-L-E-G-T-E-N.
