A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around unterste (IPA [ˈʊntɐstə]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #19,431 among 2,159 “U” headwords. Wiktionary lists 9 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for unterste, with forms such as "nuterste", "unetrste", and "unnterste". 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 also participates in 6 confusable-pair relationships, "untersten", "untersteht", "untere", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is unterste, spelled U-N-T-E-R-S-T-E.
