reesetee Sadly, skipvia, I'm much like you in the Mxyzptlk Department. Nov 21, 2007

chained_bear Yarb, are you all right? Do you need a lozenge?

Dude. SOMEONE needs to make a list called Consonant Storm. I nominate Bilby. Nov 21, 2007

skipvia I'd love to hear someone say it. It reminds me of mxyzptlk (which, oroboros, is kltpzyxm in reverse), except that DC Comics actually published a pronunciation guide to Mr. Mxyzptlk's name. It's "mix YEZ pit lek."

I can't remember the phone number to my lab but I can remember how to pronounce mxyzptlk. Go figure... Nov 21, 2007

yarb This is one of those words that's so beautiful I just can't stop saying it. Nov 21, 2007

trivet Gesundheit! Nov 21, 2007

bilby What can I say? More than the last half of this word is ...-khlkhdmkhrt. Consonant storm? It's gunfire at close range.

reesetee Consonant storms! Bilby, quick--trademark that phrase! :-)

I'm wondering whether Kalbardian speakers have spelling bees. Nov 21, 2007

bilby I have a feeling this is the region from which the wonderful fermented food kefir originates. Now that would at least be plurivocalic AND breakfast.

But I have to admit, I just love consonant storms :->

I leave you to contemplate garden beds (Italian) - aiuole! Nov 21, 2007

skipvia I'll bet you don't encounter too many panvocalics in Kalbardian.

Actually, in Kalbardian, maybe that is a panvocalic... Nov 20, 2007

bilby Supposedly means "He Who Loosened the Tongue of Mankind and Taught Them to Curdle Goat's Milk". In Kalbardian, a language of the Caucasus.

Anything else I could say would stink of politics and we eschew that, don't we?
