The French entry for zu Grunde liegenden is 19 letters long, classified as an adjective, and transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as \t͡su ˈɡʁʊndə ˈliːɡn̩dən\. It sits outside the most-frequent rank tiers, which is often why uncommon words generate more spelling variants per reader.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain.
