A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around Pathologie (IPA [patoloˈɡiː]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #25,705 among 3,409 “P” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for Pathologie, with forms such as "apthologie", "pahtologie", and "pathhologie". 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, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.

No explicit etymology string is stored 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 Pathologie, spelled P-A-T-H-O-L-O-G-I-E.
