A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around admitir (IPA /ɐd.mi.ˈtiɾ/), averb. Corpus frequency is #4,690 among 1,900 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for admitir, with forms such as "addmitir", "adimtir", and "admiitr". 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 2 confusable-pair relationships, "admirar", "admitido", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Portuguese form is admitir, spelled A-D-M-I-T-I-R.
