It also participates in 8 confusable-pair relationships, "remind", "remand", "redone", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct English form is Redmond, spelled R-E-D-M-O-N-D.
