A misspelling magnet

The generator records 8 spelling variants around ligado (IPA /li.ˈɡa.du/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #2,239 among 581 “L” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for ligado, with forms such as "ilgado", "lgiado", and "liagdo". 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 9 confusable-pair relationships, "lindo", "ligar", "limão", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, 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 ligado, spelled L-I-G-A-D-O.
