A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around Mehmet (IPA \mɛ.mɛt\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #47,453 among 5,038 “M” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Variante turque de Mohammed.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for Mehmet, with forms such as "emhmet", "mehemt", and "mehhmet". 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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "mêmes", "meet", "Mahomet", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

No borrowing history is documented 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 Mehmet, spelled M-E-H-M-E-T.
