A misspelling magnet

The generator records 15 spelling variants around Kastration (IPA [kastʁaˈt͡si̯oːn]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #40,629 among 4,158 “K” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for Kastration, with forms such as "akstration", "kasrtation", and "kasstration". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.

Our source data has no etymology on file 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 Kastration, spelled K-A-S-T-R-A-T-I-O-N.
