Where “avez” sits in French frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 5 spelling variants around avez (IPA \a.ve\), averb. Corpus frequency is #262 among 6,727 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Deuxième personne du pluriel du présent de l’indicatif de avoir.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for avez, with forms such as "aevz", "avezz", and "avvez". 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, "az", "axe", "avi", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
