A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around analfabeto, anadjective. Corpus frequency is #31,637 among 1,900 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "que não sabe ler ou escrever".

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for analfabeto, with forms such as "aanlfabeto", "anaflabeto", and "analafbeto". 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 1 confusable-pair relationship, "alfabeto", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is analfabeto, spelled A-N-A-L-F-A-B-E-T-O.
