A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around capables (IPA \ka.pabl\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,443 among 8,609 “C” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Pluriel de capable.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for capables, with forms such as "acpables", "caapbles", and "capabbles". 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, "capsules", "coupables", "capable", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is capables, spelled C-A-P-A-B-L-E-S.
