A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for Afrique, with forms such as "affrique", "afirque", and "afriqeu". 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 usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
