Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Okanagan, with forms such as "koanagan", "oaknagan", and "okaangan". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
