No, I mean encoding errors/inconsistencies. For example "avehay" is ambiguous as written, but granted it's OK-ish when spoken. "atthay" is probably only OK-ish in some weird dialect.

In my younger years, me, my friend and his family could speak by swapping parts of the syllables of longer words around. Quite fun when nobody could understand us.
