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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "Bayeux", "baveux", "bagne", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
