Longue queue: rang de « vertebral » en français
Rare enough to double-check
vertebral is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \vɛʁteˈbʁaːl\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Vertébral.".
The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for vertebral, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is vertebral, spelled V-E-R-T-E-B-R-A-L.
