A misspelling magnet

The generator records 17 spelling variants around protestante (IPA /pɾu.tɨʃ.ˈtɐ̃.tɨ/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #17,620 among 1,578 “P” headwords. Wiktionary lists 3 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 17 likely wrong-spelling variants for protestante, with forms such as "portestante", "pprotestante", and "proetstante". 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.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Portuguese form is protestante, spelled P-R-O-T-E-S-T-A-N-T-E.
