A misspelling magnet
The generator records 13 spelling variants around quinzième (IPA \kɛ̃.zjɛm\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #20,253 among 352 “Q” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Qui concerne l’ordinal de quinze.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for quinzième, with forms such as "qiunzième", "qquinzième", and "quinizème". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "XVe", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is quinzième, spelled Q-U-I-N-Z-I-È-M-E.
