Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for mohawk, with forms such as "mhoawk", "mmohawk", and "moahwk". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, 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 mohawk, spelled M-O-H-A-W-K.
