A misspelling magnet
The generator records 16 spelling variants around concernant (IPA \kɔ̃.sɛʁ.nɑ̃\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #997 among 8,609 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for concernant, with forms such as "cconcernant", "cnocernant", and "cocnernant". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 9 confusable-pair relationships, "contenant", "conférant", "convenant", 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, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is concernant, spelled C-O-N-C-E-R-N-A-N-T.

Il faut pour cela examiner d’abord les formes de présentation de la politique dans les médias télévisuels et donc, explorer cette catégorie des « questions de société », des « sujets concernants » du discours d’information, même quand ils ne sont pas dits politiques.
