unremittant

I believe this entry is a misspelling of unremittent. Note the etymology: there is no English word spelled remittant. Can we delete this entry and create unremittent? (Aabull2016 (talk) 22:09, 8 December 2018 (UTC))

It may be, but it's not that rare- so we should have some kind of an entry for it (and English remittant, too, by the way). That said, unremittent is much more common, so it looks like that should be the lemma and this should be either an alternative form or a misspelling of it.

Unremittent occurs about 0.25% as often as unremitting" and unremitting about 0.01% as often. DCDuring (talk) 00:48, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

It is now cited. I have made it an alternative form of unremittent. I am not sure how we determine that it is a misspelling rather than an alt form -- It seems common enough to be an alt form....Kiwima (talk) 02:56, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
