Rare enough to double-check

We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for dekomponieren, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
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 dekomponieren, spelled D-E-K-O-M-P-O-N-I-E-R-E-N.
