A misspelling magnet

The generator records 15 spelling variants around beständige (IPA [bəˈʃtɛndɪɡə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #44,485 among 5,818 “B” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for beständige, with forms such as "bbeständige", "besständige", and "bestnädige". 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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "bestätige", "bestände", "beständig", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is beständige, spelled B-E-S-T-Ä-N-D-I-G-E.
