A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around Oettinger (IPA [ˈœtɪŋɐ]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #18,998 among 1,007 “O” headwords. Dominant gloss: "deutscher Nachname, Familienname".

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Oettinger, with forms such as "eottinger", "oetinger", and "oetitnger". 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.
