A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around gehaltene (IPA [ɡəˈhaltənə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #20,594 among 5,117 “G” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for gehaltene, with forms such as "eghaltene", "geahltene", and "gehaletne". 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 8 confusable-pair relationships, "Gehälter", "gemalten", "geratene", 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, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is gehaltene, spelled G-E-H-A-L-T-E-N-E.
