Where “kleines” sits in German frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 10 spelling variants around kleines (IPA [ˈklaɪ̯nəs]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #1,300 among 4,158 “K” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for kleines, with forms such as "kelines", "kkleines", and "kleiens". 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 19 confusable-pair relationships, "Kreises", "Kleinod", "keine", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is kleines, spelled K-L-E-I-N-E-S.
