No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct German form is gehe vorüber, spelled G-E-H-E- -V-O-R-Ü-B-E-R, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
