Wo “Yoga” in der deutschen Häufigkeit sitzt
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 5 spelling variants around Yoga (IPA [ˈjoːɡa]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #8,158 among 67 “Y” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Yoga, with forms such as "oyga", "ygoa", and "yoag". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "you", "york", "your", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is Yoga, spelled Y-O-G-A.
