Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „Israel“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 8 spelling variants around Israel (IPA [ˈiːsʁaeːl]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #1,812 among 1,488 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for Israel, with forms such as "irsael", "isarel", and "israell". 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. It also participates in 6 confusable-pair relationships, "Israels", "Israeli", "Israelis", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No documented word history exists for this headword, 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 Israel, spelled I-S-R-A-E-L.

„Gelegentlich veröffentlichen Zeitungen Leitartikel im Namen der gesamten Redaktion. So auch Haaretz am 10. Juli 2025. Überschrift: »Israel möchte das moralischste Konzentrationslager der Welt errichten«.“
