A misspelling magnet

The generator records 6 spelling variants around Chor (IPA [koːɐ̯]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #3,714 among 1,273 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 7 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for Chor, with forms such as "cchor", "chhor", and "chorr". 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, "Cr", "CO2", "con", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is Chor, spelled C-H-O-R.
