The generator records 8 spelling variants around neuves (IPA \nœv\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #13,219 among 1,563 “N” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Féminin pluriel de neuf.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for neuves, with forms such as "enuves", "neuevs", and "neuvess".
