Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for limítrofe, with forms such as "ilmítrofe", "limmítrofe", and "limtírofe". 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, since its spelling is unusual enough that it doesn't cluster with a lookalike.
