A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around derogar (IPA [d̪eɾoˈɣ̞aɾ]), averb. Corpus frequency is #23,019 among 4,885 “D” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for derogar, with forms such as "dderogar", "deorgar", and "dergoar". 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 14 confusable-pair relationships, "droga", "drogas", "devorar", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Spanish form is derogar, spelled D-E-R-O-G-A-R.
