A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around eindeutig (IPA [ˈaɪ̯nˌdɔɪ̯tɪç]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #2,142 among 4,632 “E” headwords. Dominant gloss: "keine andere Möglichkeit zulassend; nur eine Deutung zulassend".

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for eindeutig, with forms such as "eidneutig", "einddeutig", and "eindetuig". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "einseitig", "eindeutige", "eindeutigen", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is eindeutig, spelled E-I-N-D-E-U-T-I-G.
