Monovocalics

word feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added
Words that have only one of the vowels. On this list I include only words with at least three vowels. When I first started the list, if a word had several forms, I generally list only the one with the most vowels (for example, "deepened" rather than "deepen", "deeper" or "deepest"). Then I started including the shorter forms after adding tags to view words by number of vowels: aaa, aaaa, aaaaa, aaaaaa; eee, eeee, eeeee, eeeeee, eeeeeeee; iii, iiii, iiiii, iiiiii, iiiiiii; ooo, oooo, ooooo, oooooo, ooooooo, oooooooo; uuu, uuuu; uuuuu, uuuuuu; and yyy, yyyy, yyyyy.

Thanks, yarb!

Ceremented.

Netherbetween.

peetweets, peesweeps.

I was afraid to open it and leave it to the tumbleweeds (being a consonant hound, rather). But what the hell!

ETA: The Free Dictionary lists viscidity as a valid derivation of viscid.

6 months ago mollusque said:

Thanks, madmouth! I put mahabharatha on Monovocalic Proper. The wye knocks out natyashastra (I know, it's not used as a vowel there, but that's my rule).

Go ahead and start that phonetic monovocalics list if you'd like. Or does someone already have one?

6 months ago madmouth said:

mahabharatha
natyashastra

though of course you could just get a Sanskrit text (on anything) and yank 'em out as you see fit.

6 months ago madmouth said:

There should be a sister list based on phonology rather than spelling (e.g. cheery; eerie), or a truly baroque monovocalics in spelling AND phonology one (e.g. finish; whistling).

bejeweled?

((Sorry))

Nope, it has a wye.

You scare me.

Freemen or freedmen?

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

That sounds like someone trying to get my attention while eating licorice.

about 1 year ago yarb said:

Treeshrew. Unless you already have their language, treeshrewese.

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

Thanks, yarb. I had deterrence and genteelest, but I'm trying to list other forms also now, not just the longest.

about 1 year ago yarb said:

Genteel (or genteeler). Deterrent.

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

Yes, we have no bononos...

about 1 year ago Prolagus said:

the list names could be "monovocolocs", "minivicilics", and so on...

about 1 year ago whichbe said:

I really love this list, but I wish it were seperated by vowel... perhaps I'm neurotic like that. But your tagging of these words makes it close to that.

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

I do like it! I wish I knew Spanish so I could contribute.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Hey! Bilingual monovocalics!

about 1 year ago bilby said:

You might like this list of Spanish monovocalics.

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

Which one? And why only one? Can't I be both of you?

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Oh no. He's one of us.

*helps sarra get up*

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

Hi Bilby! Once upon a time I downloaded a circa 300,000 word list (from a site I can't find online anymore), and put it in a database where I do pattern searches. Then I look up the words I don't know, because the list is dirty (typos, and verb forms that seem not to exist), and of course find others words along the way, usually in MW3 or OED2.

about 1 year ago bilby said:

How do you find them molly? Do you trawl through dictionaries endlessly or is there a way of searching for monovocalic words a bit more automatically?

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

Glad you like them, sarra. Beats falling over from wordasphyxia.
