Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for Murnau, with forms such as "mmurnau", "mrunau", and "munrau". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
