Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "links", "Linse", "Linus", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
