Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Java, with forms such as "ajva", "jaav", and "javva".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "jv", "jay", "jia", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
