A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around Edinburgh (IPA [ˈɛdɪnbərə]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #21,224 among 4,632 “E” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Hauptstadt von Schottland, die nach Glasgow dort die zweitgrößte Stadt ist".

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for Edinburgh, with forms such as "deinburgh", "eddinburgh", and "edibnurgh". 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 no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct German form is Edinburgh, spelled E-D-I-N-B-U-R-G-H.
