A misspelling magnet

The generator records 17 spelling variants around vegetarisch (IPA [veɡeˈtaːʁɪʃ]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #19,432 among 49,639 “V” headwords. Dominant gloss: "ohne Fleisch".

Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for vegetarisch, with forms such as "evgetarisch", "veegtarisch", and "vegeatrisch". 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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "vegetarische", "vegetarischen", "vegetarisches", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is vegetarisch, spelled V-E-G-E-T-A-R-I-S-C-H.
