A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around Mumbai (IPA [ˈmũmbaj]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #31,895 among 3,868 “M” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Ciudad de la India, capital del estado de Maharashtra.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for Mumbai, with forms such as "mmubai", "mmumbai", and "mubmai". 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 tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct Spanish form is Mumbai, spelled M-U-M-B-A-I.
