A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around Cholera (IPA [ˈkoːleʁa]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #20,876 among 1,273 “C” headwords. Dominant gloss: "bakterielle, oft epidemische Infektionskrankheit des Darmes".

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for Cholera, with forms such as "ccholera", "chholera", and "chloera". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "cooler", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is Cholera, spelled C-H-O-L-E-R-A.
