The generator records 7 spelling variants around allons (IPA \a.lɔ̃\), averb. Corpus frequency is #1,581 among 6,727 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for allons, with forms such as "allnos", "allonns", and "allonss". 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, "alors", "avons", "ayons", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
