Word Freak Fest: primal part

This week's challenge: English words with three or more consecutive vowels. No cheating. Form an orderly queue

Oh and be sweet, suggest one at a time to give others in different time zones a chance......

DanaC · 02-09-2013, 02:54 PM

Would 'aegis' count?

possibly not...not really English.

What about 'attention'?

Chocolatl · 02-09-2013, 03:38 PM

Dana, I think monster meant consecutive as in "one after another," like qUEUE, which has four consecutive vowels, as opposed to "in alphabetical order" like AttEntIOn.

manoeuver/manoeuvre.

Sorry to post twice, I just used this in another thread and went: eureka!

Do you think the Queen makes her own manoeuvers or does she have people for that?

limey · 02-09-2013, 06:11 PM

Facetious. Also has all the vowels in alphabetical order.

BigV · 02-09-2013, 06:59 PM

I beg to differ. Also does not have all the vowels in alphabetical order. True, all the vowels it *does have* are present in the same order as they are in the alphabet, but that's not what you were talking about, I'm sure. You may poo-poo my response as a facetious one, but that would not be valid. I don't care, I've been sham-pooed before.

Facetiously.
