A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around vorigen (IPA [ˈfoːʁɪɡn̩]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #9,484 among 4,163 “V” headwords. Wiktionary lists 20 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for vorigen, with forms such as "ovrigen", "voirgen", and "vorgien". 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 8 confusable-pair relationships, "voriges", "Vorlagen", "vorlegen", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is vorigen, spelled V-O-R-I-G-E-N.
