You may find “linguistic cohort”a useful search phrase.
When I studied linguistics back in the 80s it was a popular way of thinking about lexical retrieval. E.g., a cohort model might explain collisions between “kertautua” and “kuvastaa” by observing that they share an initial-sound, final-sound, and (I think?) number of syllables, all of which are lexical search keys. (Put another way: it’s easy to list words that start with “k”, words that end with “a”, and three-syllable words.)
That said, I remember thinknig at the time that it was kind of vacuous. (After all, it’s also easy to list words with “v” in the middle somewhere.)
