It also participates in 4 confusable-pair relationships, "vorläufigen", "vorläufiges", "vorläufiger", and more, 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 its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is vorläufige, spelled V-O-R-L-Ä-U-F-I-G-E.
