A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around Smaragd (IPA [smaˈʁakt]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #44,231 among 8,027 “S” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Smaragd, with forms such as "msaragd", "samragd", and "smaargd". 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 typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is Smaragd, spelled S-M-A-R-A-G-D.
