Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "no", "nah", "nat", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
