A misspelling magnet

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "eng", "Eins", "ewig", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is einig, spelled E-I-N-I-G.
