Where “rund” sits in German frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 6 spelling variants around rund (IPA [ʁʊnt]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #460 among 2,984 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 6 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for rund, with forms such as "rnud", "rrund", and "rudn". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "Rus", "Ruth", "Rute", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is rund, spelled R-U-N-D.
