A misspelling magnet

The generator records 11 spelling variants around diabetes (IPA /ʤi.a.ˈbɛ.ʧis/, /ʤja.ˈbɛ.ʧis/), anoun. Corpus frequency is #11,437 among 1,193 “D” headwords. Dominant gloss: "grupo de enfermidades caracterizadas por hiperglicemia, poliúria, polidipsia, glicosúria e polifagia".

Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for diabetes, with forms such as "daibetes", "ddiabetes", and "diabbetes". 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. We don't track a confusable pairing for this entry, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Portuguese form is diabetes, spelled D-I-A-B-E-T-E-S.
