A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around Hospiz (IPA [hɔsˈpiːt͡s]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #25,599 among 3,372 “H” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for Hospiz, with forms such as "hhospiz", "hopsiz", and "hosipz". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is Hospiz, spelled H-O-S-P-I-Z.
