The generator records 16 spelling variants around oscillations (IPA \ɔ.si.la.sjɔ̃\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #37,960 among 1,642 “O” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Pluriel de oscillation.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for oscillations, with forms such as "ocsillations", "osccillations", and "oscilaltions". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel.
