A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around coupable (IPA \ku.pabl\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #2,767 among 8,609 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for coupable, with forms such as "ccoupable", "copuable", and "couapble". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "couple", "coupole", "coupables", 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 its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is coupable, spelled C-O-U-P-A-B-L-E.
