Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for Gippsland, with forms such as "ggippsland", "gipplsand", and "gippsalnd". 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, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
