Rare enough to double-check
Kolonnade is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anoun, transcribed [kolɔˈnaːdə]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Säulengang mit einem geraden Gebälk".
Kolonnade has no tracked misspelling variants, since its letter sequence doesn't invite the usual edit-distance slips. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
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 Kolonnade, spelled K-O-L-O-N-N-A-D-E.
