"Retiped" is an uncommon word that refers to an animal with feet or claws adapted for digging. Its spelling can be explained through IPA (international phonetic alphabet). The first syllable "re" is pronounced as "ri" (like in "tip"), followed by "tī" (like in "tye") and "ped" (like in "pedal"). Altogether, it's pronounced as "ri-tī-ped", with emphasis on the second syllable. While this word is not common in everyday usage, it can be found in natural history textbooks and scientific literature.
