A misspelling magnet
The generator records 16 spelling variants around mechanisch (IPA [meˈçaːnɪʃ]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #17,986 among 3,571 “M” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for mechanisch, with forms such as "emchanisch", "mcehanisch", and "mecahnisch". 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 4 confusable-pair relationships, "mechanische", "mechanischen", "mechanischer", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 mechanisch, spelled M-E-C-H-A-N-I-S-C-H.
