Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for voisin, with forms such as "ovisin", "viosin", and "voiisn". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 10 confusable-pair relationships, "voisins", "voisine", "voisines", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, 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 voisin, spelled V-O-I-S-I-N.
