Rare enough to double-check
no one is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as apronoun, transcribed [ˈnəʊwʌn]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "keiner; niemand".

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is no one, spelled N-O- -O-N-E.
