Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for pollinisation, with forms such as "opllinisation", "plolinisation", and "polilnisation".

It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "politisation", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
