A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around artisans (IPA \aʁ.ti.zɑ̃\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #5,947 among 6,727 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Masculin pluriel de artisan.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for artisans, with forms such as "aritsans", "arrtisans", and "artiasns". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "artists", "artistes", "artisan", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is artisans, spelled A-R-T-I-S-A-N-S.
