A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around émouvoir (IPA \e.mu.vwaʁ\), averb. Corpus frequency is #28,804 among 1,805 “É” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for émouvoir, with forms such as "emouvoir", "méouvoir", and "émmouvoir". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is émouvoir, spelled É-M-O-U-V-O-I-R.
