A misspelling magnet

The generator records 14 spelling variants around ignorância (IPA /i.ɡnu.ˈɾɐ̃.sjɐ/), anoun. Corpus frequency is #6,076 among 1,526 “I” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for ignorância, with forms such as "ginorância", "iggnorância", and "ignnorância". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.

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 Portuguese form is ignorância, spelled I-G-N-O-R-Â-N-C-I-A.
