A misspelling magnet

The generator records 5 spelling variants around auch (IPA \aʊ̯x\), anadverb. Corpus frequency is #23,455 among 6,727 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Aussi, également.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for auch, with forms such as "acuh", "aucch", and "auchh". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "aux", "aus", "aut", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is auch, spelled A-U-C-H.
