Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for nota, with forms such as "nnota", "noat", and "notta".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "nt", "now", "nou", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
