A misspelling magnet

The generator records 7 spelling variants around vendu (IPA \vɑ̃.dy\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #2,346 among 2,061 “V” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for vendu, with forms such as "evndu", "vednu", and "venddu". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "venu", "vent", "vêtu", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is vendu, spelled V-E-N-D-U.
