Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for ganglions, with forms such as "agnglions", "gagnlions", and "gangglions". 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, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, 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 ganglions, spelled G-A-N-G-L-I-O-N-S.
