A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around Norwich (IPA \nɔ.ʁitʃ\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #39,913 among 1,563 “N” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Ville, District et cité d’Angleterre situé dans le comté du Norfolk, duquel elle est le chef-lieu.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Norwich, with forms such as "nnorwich", "noriwch", and "norrwich". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since nothing in our dataset looks or sounds close enough to cause mix-ups.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct French form is Norwich, spelled N-O-R-W-I-C-H.
