A misspelling magnet
The generator records 17 spelling variants around Unternehmen (IPA [ʊntɐˈneːmən]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #372 among 2,159 “U” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for Unternehmen, with forms such as "nuternehmen", "unetrnehmen", and "unnternehmen".
