Palindromes

[ Editor: Maxwell Heiman <maxwell@minerva.cis.yale.edu> asked for the
longest palindrome. ]

nepparterrestaalplaatserretrappen

A Dutch word meaning "fake stairway leading from an enclosed porch made
out of steel plate".  Ok, so it's coined.  Sue me.

-- Dan Tilque <dant@techbook.com>

[ Editor: the entry above gives "meetsysteem" (11 letters) as the
longest dictionary palindrome; Tilque's 33-letter word is a coinage, as
he says. ]

[ Editor: sentence palindromes, posted in 1994 after "A man, a plan, a
canal, Panama" and a German example: ]

Or in Dutch:

  Koot, mannen, nam ei.  Bie, mannen, nam 't ook.
  Nelli plaatst op 'n parterretrap 'n pot staalpillen.

-- Rob <kingunix@garnet.berkeley.edu>

Consonants and vowels

[ Editor: posted in a 1996 thread on English words with many consecutive
consonants. ]

I'll just jump in and write down a Dutch word with 8 consecutive
consonants:

angstschreeuw   (cry of fear)

and to balance this two words with 7 consecutive vowels:

papegaaieeieren   (parrot eggs)
koeieuier      (udder of a cow)

-- Joke van Veenendaal <jokevv@pi.net>

[ Editor: the entry above gives 7 as the longest consonant string and 3
as the longest all-vowel word.  Here the strings lie within words:
"ngstschr" in angstschreeuw is 8 consonants, and "aaieeie" in
papegaaieeieren and "oeieuie" in koeieuier are 7 vowels each. ]

Consonant strings:

The dutch word I am thinking of with 8 consecutive consonants is:

        angstschreeuw

Unless there is some reason why this word does not qualify, I'd like to
change the entry in /language/dutch/dutch.record in the archives.

-- Gerrit Bos <gbos@uoguelph.ca>

> Oooo, what a great word!  Unless I am mistaken, this means "a cry of
> terror," right?
>
> -- Susan Hoover <hoover@fse.com>

As angstschreeuw is pronounced as a-ng-s-t-sch-r-ee-uw (where `ng' and
`sch' stand for one sound), a better alternative is:

   herfstschreeuw   h-e-r-f-s-t-sch-r-ee-uw

But it is not a real Dutch word people have told me.  It means something
like `a cry made during the fall (autumn [Editor: "authem" in the
original])'.

-- Frans F.J. Faase <faase@cs.utwente.nl>

Vowel strings:

In Dutch, there is the word "koeieuier" (pronounce "cu'yea our", appr.,
the English language does not know the Dutch "ui" sound) (I don't know
the English translation, the organ of a cow which contains the milk).

-- B. Kamp <BKAMP@kub.nl>

Whew!  My dictionary does not have koeieuier, but it does have koeieoog
= cow's eye, and of course it has koe and uier.  We call that the udder.

-- Susan Hoover <hoover@fse.com>

Unfortunately for us Dutch, this was taken out at the latest spelling
re-do.  Now, it's spelled 'koeie_n_uier'.

-- Christ van Willegen <j.h.christ@spcgroup.nl>

Yes, but there's still the (constructed) word 'ooiaaier'.
(someone who strokes female sheep).

-- Abigail <abigail@fnx.com>

my personal favorite is
reeeeelt
which would mean the hardened skin (eelt) on a deer (ree); the e in the
middle is glueing it together
although a zeeeend (sea-duck) is nice too

-- Boudewijn <b_redeker@hotmail.com>

> longest palindrome meetsysteem (11,1)

That is wrong.

parterretrap (12,1), melklepelklem (13,1),
parterreserretrap (17,1),
edelstaalplaatslede (a stainless steel tray, part of an oven) (19,1),
nepparterrestaalplaatserretrappen
(fake stairway leading from an enclosed porch made out of steel plate)
(33,1)
potstalmelkkoortspilstaalplaatslipstrookklemlatstop (51,1)

> longest beginning with e palindrome etste (5,1)

consequently, longest beginning with e palindrome edelstaalplaatslede
and so on

-- Christoph Enzinger <leo@cosy.sbg.ac.at>

[ Editor: in reply to the question "What words have more than three
consecutive non-repeating vowels?" (English answers: sequoia,
miaoued): ]

In Dutch we have the perfectly normal word 'koeieuier'.
Great for hangman.

-- Marcel van Kervinck <buex95a@urc.tue.nl>
