So you are supposed to write "kitap" or "kitabi", but
"kitapi" is a common misspelling of "kitabi" because people
forget to change the "p" to a "b"?

One hack could be to claim that "pi" sounds like "bi" at the
end of a word (in the phonetic rules). That way you can be
sure people will get "kitabi" as an alternative suggestion,
if they write "kitapi".
