Rare enough to double-check
bespringen is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as averb, transcribed [bəˈʃpʁɪŋən]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "sich nach dem Sprung am Rücken des (weiblichen) Tieres festhalten, um den Akt der Begattung durchzuführen".
bespringen has no tracked misspelling variants, a sign its spelling follows regular German conventions. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 bespringen, spelled B-E-S-P-R-I-N-G-E-N.
