Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for irreversível, with forms such as "irerversível", "ireversível", and "irreevrsível". 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. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
