A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around erhaltene (IPA [ɛɐ̯ˈhaltənə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #10,465 among 4,632 “E” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for erhaltene, with forms such as "ehraltene", "erahltene", and "erhaletne". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 9 confusable-pair relationships, "erhaltet", "Erhaltung", "erhaltenen", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is erhaltene, spelled E-R-H-A-L-T-E-N-E.
