A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around Nebraska (IPA [neˈbʁaska]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #34,829 among 1,954 “N” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Bundesstaat im mittleren Westen der USA".

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Nebraska, with forms such as "enbraska", "nberaska", and "nebarska". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

No borrowing history is documented for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is Nebraska, spelled N-E-B-R-A-S-K-A.
