It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "vorn", "Vize", "vive", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, 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 Viren, spelled V-I-R-E-N.
