A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around Piraterie (IPA [piʁatəˈʁiː]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #41,393 among 3,409 “P” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Piraterie, with forms such as "ipraterie", "piarterie", and "piraetrie". 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. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
