A misspelling magnet

The generator records 16 spelling variants around inestimable (IPA \i.nɛs.ti.mabl\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #23,902 among 3,561 “I” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Qu’on ne peut estimer à un assez haut prix.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for inestimable, with forms such as "ienstimable", "inesitmable", and "inesstimable". 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 tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is inestimable, spelled I-N-E-S-T-I-M-A-B-L-E.
