A misspelling magnet
The generator records 10 spelling variants around malades (IPA \ma.lad\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #3,274 among 5,038 “M” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Pluriel de l’adjectif malade.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for malades, with forms such as "amlades", "maaldes", and "maladdes". 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 also participates in 7 confusable-pair relationships, "malais", "malles", "maladie", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, 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 malades, spelled M-A-L-A-D-E-S.
