I couldnt spell vertebrate... hope I remember it now. I tried vertebraete vertebraede, added s, switched ae even tried vertebrades I think ( and vertebra vertebrat(s) ) basicly everything that comes close but not the right one. I was so sure it had ae in it, cause I thought it is vertebrae. (completely different than in my country, often the words are similar but not this time "gewerveld(en)"
