A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around Pagnol (IPA \pa.ɲɔl\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #37,963 among 6,826 “P” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Nom de famille attesté en France ^([Ins]), surtout connu pour Marcel Pagnol (1895-1974), écrivain français.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for Pagnol, with forms such as "apgnol", "paggnol", and "pagnlo". 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 5 confusable-pair relationships, "panel", "Pagny", "pognon", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is Pagnol, spelled P-A-G-N-O-L.
