A misspelling magnet

The generator records 12 spelling variants around obediente (IPA /ɔ.bɨ.ˈdjẽ.tɨ/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #28,693 among 385 “O” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for obediente, with forms such as "boediente", "obbediente", and "obdeiente". 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.

No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Portuguese form is obediente, spelled O-B-E-D-I-E-N-T-E.
