Rare enough to double-check
intestinal is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ɪntɛstiˈnaːl]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "zum Darmkanal gehörend".
The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for intestinal, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is intestinal, spelled I-N-T-E-S-T-I-N-A-L.
