Rare enough to double-check
Delft is uncommon French at frequency #53,260 among 5,307 “D” headwords, classed as aproper noun. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Commune des Pays-Bas située dans la province de la Hollande-Méridionale.".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for Delft, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 Delft, spelled D-E-L-F-T.
