Dominant gloss: "Un des cinquante États-Unis d’Amérique (code postal UT), bordé par l’Idaho au nord, le Wyoming au nord-est, le Colorado à l’est, le Nouveau-Mexique au sud-est, l’Arizona au sud et le Nevada à l’oue...".

Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Utah, with forms such as "tuah", "uath", and "utahh".
