A misspelling magnet

The generator records 8 spelling variants around repollo (IPA [reˈpoʝo]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #36,263 among 4,151 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for repollo, with forms such as "erpollo", "reopllo", and "replolo". 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 4 confusable-pair relationships, "rollo", "reposo", "Ripoll", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No borrowing history is documented 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 repollo, spelled R-E-P-O-L-L-O.
