A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around soltar (IPA /soɫ.ˈtaɾ/), averb. Corpus frequency is #5,356 among 1,185 “S” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for soltar, with forms such as "osltar", "slotar", and "solatr". 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 18 confusable-pair relationships, "star", "solto", "somar", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, 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 soltar, spelled S-O-L-T-A-R.
