A misspelling magnet

The generator records 15 spelling variants around demjenigen (IPA [ˈdeːmˌjeːnɪɡn̩]), adeterminer. Corpus frequency is #23,079 among 2,764 “D” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for demjenigen, with forms such as "ddemjenigen", "dejmenigen", and "demejnigen". 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 4 confusable-pair relationships, "derjenige", "diejenigen", "denjenigen", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct German form is demjenigen, spelled D-E-M-J-E-N-I-G-E-N.
