A misspelling magnet
The generator records 14 spelling variants around norvégien (IPA \nɔʁ.ve.ʒjɛ̃\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #12,431 among 1,563 “N” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for norvégien, with forms such as "nnorvégien", "norrvégien", and "norvegien". 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, "norvégiens", "norvégienne", "Norvège", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is norvégien, spelled N-O-R-V-É-G-I-E-N.
