A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around ersterem (IPA [ˈeːɐ̯stəʁəm]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #43,850 among 4,632 “E” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for ersterem, with forms such as "errsterem", "ersetrem", and "erssterem".

It also participates in 7 confusable-pair relationships, "ersteres", "ersteren", "ersterer", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is ersterem, spelled E-R-S-T-E-R-E-M.
