Our Hunspell-derived misspelling index lists 15 documented wrong-spelling variants for supportable, with forms such as "spuportable", "ssupportable", and "supoprtable". Each variant represents a distinct typo pattern that appears often enough in corpora to be worth flagging, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution.It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
