What's the difference between engrail and entrail?
Engrail
Definition:
(v. t.) To variegate or spot, as with hail.
(v. t.) To indent with small curves. See Engrailed.
(v. i.) To form an edging or border; to run in curved or indented lines.

(13) These results are discussed in the context of an autoregulatory model for engrailed regulation.
(14) hh expression in epidermal cells is confined to the posterior compartments and coincides precisely with that of engrailed (en).
(15) An enzyme system that accurately initiates transcription of the engrailed gene has been prepared from Drosophila embryos.
(16) We have examples of patches of hairy cells (where we monitor the effect on fushi tarazu (ftz) expression), even-skipped (monitoring ftz) and ftz (monitoring engrailed and Ultrabithorax).

(18) This gene, which encodes a transmembrane protein, is initially expressed in a generalized way at blastoderm, but later stops being transcribed in cells expressing the engrailed gene, and even later in cells in the middle of the parasegment.
(19) Autoregulation graduates to wingless independence, but is transient, and is superseded by an engrailed-independent mode of maintenance.
(20) It appears to control morphogenesis by regulating the expression of the segmentation gene engrailed (en), and by autoregulating its own expression (M. Frasch and M.L., in preparation).
Entrail
Definition:
(v. t.) To interweave; to intertwine.
(n.) Entanglement; fold.
Example Sentences:

(6) She gets nothing but sycophancy from her privy counsellors, so why not ask those paid to watch the entrails of the sacred geese, the economists?
(7) It tasted as you might imagine licking the slime off a fish that has been left to fester in a warm room for three days might taste; it had the tang of bilge and entrail.
(8) The farmer and his children crowd around; a girl of seven or eight stirs a pot on an open fire and, in the dust, chickens fight over the entrails of a ram left over from Eid, its head still lolling in the dirt.
(9) Scratch tests with different fish products (fish juice from fillets, meat (fillet), skin, slime, juice from fish boxes and hold in the fishing boats, and entrails) were performed in 145 volunteers.
(10) The corpses, meanwhile, had bloated and burst in the heat, their entrails seeping out, tongues oozing from faces.
(11) But the entrails of the leak are less important than the issue it raises.
(12) Nowhere in the new advert do we see the blood and entrails, the vomit and faeces, the rats feasting on body parts.
(13) Under optimal conditions, the degrees of tyrosine-desulfation of [35S]sulfate-labeled fibronectin by arylsulfatases from Helix pomatia (Type H-1), Patalle vulgata (Type V) and Abalone entrails (Type VIII) were determined to be 55.7%, 54.9% and 76.4%.
(14) The nation examines the entrails of heirs to the throne, actors and London mayors.
(15) So those of us engaged in this strange spectator-sport are driven to reading stock-market analysts' reports and other ephemera, which is the technological equivalent of consulting the entrails of recently beheaded chickens.
(16) The formation of the above mentioned organic compounds is associated with volcanic processes--with abiogenous synthesis taking place in ash-gas clouds and, possibly, in the entrails of the Earth (hydrocarbons and their heteroatomic derivatives have also been found in volcanic bombs).
(17) Sulphatase preparations from Abalone entrails, the limpet Patella vulgata and ox liver, as well as artificial substrates for these enzymes, were used in the hamster in vitro fertilization system to study the possible roles of sperm sulphatases in sperm-zona pellucida interactions.
(18) No hydrolysis of the sulphate metabolite occurred on treatment with aryl sulphatase from (a) Helix pomatia, (b) limpets and (c) Aerobacter aerogenes, while treatment with aryl sulphatase from abalone entrails led to very slow hydrolysis.
(19) Mr Justice Macpherson, the trial judge, said after yesterday's verdicts: "It seems to me that maybe the public and certainly those involved on the legal side would not wish to gaze at the entrails of the case further."
(20) He seems in later life to have found some sort of serenity, underpinned by the Stoic philosophy which, superbly stated, ends Satire X : Still, if you must pray for something, if at every shrine you offer The entrails and holy chitterlings of a white piglet Then ask for a healthy mind in a healthy body, Demand a valiant heart for which death holds no terrors, That reckons length of life as the least among the gifts Of nature, that's strong to endure every kind of sorrow, That's anger free, lusts for nothing, and prefers The sorrows and labours of Hercules to all Sardanapulus' downy cushions and women and junketings.
