A misspelling magnet

The generator records 7 spelling variants around árabe (IPA [ˈaɾaβ̞e]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,530 among 60 “Á” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for árabe, with forms such as "ráabe", "áarbe", and "árabbe". 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 also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "are", "arte", "arce", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct Spanish form is árabe, spelled Á-R-A-B-E.
