A misspelling magnet

The generator records 20 spelling variants around Bruderschaft (IPA [ˈbʁuːdɐʃaft]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #17,543 among 5,818 “B” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 20 likely wrong-spelling variants for Bruderschaft, with forms such as "bbruderschaft", "brduerschaft", and "brruderschaft". 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 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.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, 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 Bruderschaft, spelled B-R-U-D-E-R-S-C-H-A-F-T.
