Where “Kremlin” sits in French frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around Kremlin (IPA \kʁɛm.lɛ̃\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #17,465 among 737 “K” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Kremlin, with forms such as "kermlin", "kkremlin", and "krelmin". 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 no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is Kremlin, spelled K-R-E-M-L-I-N.
Definition
- 1Résidence des tsars à Moscou.
