A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around Abdullah (IPA /æbˈdʌlə/), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #14,056 among 3,931 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for Abdullah, with forms such as "abbdullah", "abddullah", and "abdlulah". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
