http://www.wordnik.com/lists/monovocalic-trysyllable.xml There must be some natural English word that contains the same vowel three times. 'English' excludes Bopomofo and Rin Tin Tin; 'natural' excludes contrived things like highlight-like, unhumdrum. And I'll also exclude those such as indivisibility that depend on choice of allophones. Okay, <a href="/words/picnicking">picnicking</a> works, so I'd better exclude inflected forms too. <br /> <br />Here are some notes to try and stir my memory. This useless little list of monovocalic disyllables will be deleted once I've found that trisyllable. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/unloved Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:46:23 +0000
