Note that æra appears to be a variant of era. I suspect it's really rare and not worth moving aera to rare. Perhaps add era as an alternative? What about plural?

Suggested change
aera->area
aera->area, era,
aeras->areas, eras,

auto-negoziations->auto-negotiations
auto-realease->auto-release
auto-realeased->auto-released

Perhaps add jewel or even newel?

Note that lewel itself appears to be a variant of level — but again probably not worth taking into account.

Personally I'd probably swap the order, although I guess the is more common.
