Sequential words.


Readers of Word Ways are familiar with palindromes, tautonyms The following is a list of tautonyms: taxonomic names in which the genus and species names are the same. These are allowed in zoology, but not in botany, where the genus and species names must differ (though differences as small as one letter are permitted, as in the Jujube , Miami Words (WW2000014) and Ladder Words (WW2002279). In Sequential Words, sequences of these genres, rather than entire words, are considered. The idea is to look for words made of 2 or more such sequences. The sequences which make the word may both/all be of the same genre: SUSANNA, with the letter pattern 121 3443, consists of 2 palindromic pal·in·dro·mic
adj.
Relapsing; recurring.
 sequences--a palindromic triplet triplet /trip·let/ (trip´let)
1. one of three offspring produced at one birth.

2. a combination of three objects or entities acting together, as three lenses or three nucleotides.

3.
 and a palindromic quadruplet quadruplet /quad·rup·let/ (kwod-rldbomacp´let) one of four offspring produced at one birth.

quad·ru·plet
n.
One of four offspring born in a single birth.
. Alternatively, the sequences may come from different genres as in the case of NONSENSE with the letter pattern 121 34534--a palindromic sequence followed by a Miami sequence. The palindromic sequences used here have a minimum of 3 letters (of pattern 121), whilst the tautonymic sequences have a minimum of 4 letters (of pattern 1212). Hyphenated words are admitted but phrases are not. Words which themselves are palindromes or tautonyms are also excluded. It is noteworthy that sequential words include examples of pair isograms, words with just two of each different letter.

SEQUENCES OF THREE DIFFERENT GENRES

Words made of sequences of three different genres are rare. The genre sequences below are identified as PS, TS and MS--palindromic, tautonymic, and Miami sequences respectively. 1212 343 56756 (TS + PS + MS) MAMA.DID.OUGOU(Guinea), PAPA.PAP.AITAI * (Cook Is.)

12312 454 6767 (MS + PS + TS) ANTAN.ALA.NANA and ANTAN.ATA.NANA (both Madagascar)

1212 343 56756 898 (TS + PS + MS + PS) LILI.AMA.TJETJ.EKE (a point in Indonesia)

WORDS OFFERING A CHOICE OF SEQUENTIAL LETTER PATTERNS

PAPAPAPAITAI is noted (* above) as made from the sequences TS + PS + MS. However, it can, alternatively, be viewed as being made from the sequences PS + TS + MS (PAP.APAP.AITAI). Other words can also be sequenced in more than one way. As will be apparent, certain monovocalic words are particularly well-suited to multi-sequencing.

Sets of two sequences

BAB.AMAMA (PS + PS) ... and ... BABA.MAMA (TS + TS) WW92010 Other examples which can be sequenced in the same two ways include: CECELELE (lake-Mozambique), KIKIBIBI (Papua NG), LOLOGOGO (mountain--Indonesia), ROROKOKO (stream--New Zealand), TOTONONO (river--Zimbabwe) and VAVANANA (atoll--French Polynesia).

TSATSA.LALA (TS + TS) ... and ... TSATS.ALALA (MS + PS) lake--Mozambique also MPAMPANANA mountain--S. Africa

ANA.NGONGO (PS + TS) ... and ... ANAN.GONGO (TS + MS) Madagascar

TEET.ERER (PS + TS) ... and ... TEETE.RER (MS + PS)

CHAC-HA.LAL (TS + PS) ... and ... CHAC-H.ALAL (MS + TS) cove--Mexico

Sets of two and three sequences

AMA.KALAKALA (PS + TS) ... and ... AMA.KALAK.ALA (PS + PS + PS) Nigeria also ANAHANAHANA (Madagascar)

KAWAKAWA.IVI (TS + PS) ... and ... KAWAK.AWA.IVI (PS + PS + PS) stream--Fiji also PARAPARAUMU (New Zealand) and TUKUTUKUIWI (stream--New Zealand).

HALAHALA.WUWU (TS + TS) ... and ... HALAH.ALA.WUWU (PS + PS + TS) Papua NG also HIRIHIRIPOPO (Solomon Is.)

NIVVI-NIVVI.-NAK-NAK (TS + TS) ... and ... NIVVINIVVIN.AKNAK (PS + MS) ... and ... NIVVI-N.IVVI.-NAK-NAK (PS + PS + TS)

Nivvi-nivvi-nak-nak is a guessing game, or method of casting lots (edd)

Sets of two, three and four sequences

KAWAKAWAMALAMALA (stream--Fiji) is special. It can be sequenced in 4 different ways. KAWAKAWA.MALAMALA (TS + TS) KAWAK.AWA.MALAMALA (PS + PS + TS) KAWAKAWA.MALAM.ALA (TS + PS + PS) KAWAK.AWA.MALAM.ALA (PS + PS + PS + PS)

SEQUENTIAL TRANSPOSALS

The letters of a sequential word can, in some cases, be transposed to make another sequential word. In words made from 2 sequences, such a transposal takes one of three forms: the two sequences remain the same but change places; the letters of one of the sequences are rearranged; the letters of both sequences are rearranged.

BOTH SEQUENCES SAME IN BOTH WORDS Both sequences of same genre

Some Memnon words make other Memnon words when their triplets exchange plac es.

ARA.SES

BAB.ULU (East Timor)

CAC.OTO (Angola)

SES.ARA (nz)

ULU.BAB (Azerbaijan)

OTO.CAC (spring-Bosnia-Herzegovina)

DOD.AMA (wadi--Somalia)

ERE.SOS SOS, code letters of the international distress signal. The signal is expressed in International Morse code as … — — — … (three dots, three dashes, three dots).  (Greece)

EME.SIS (the action of vomiting)

TOT.ANA (Georgia)

ULU.KAK (a Malemiut Eskimo Village--Hodge)

ANA.TOT (West Bank)

KAK.ULU (DR Congo)

Words with palindromic sequences of differing lengths can also make sequential reversals.

DAD.ALLA (Sri Lanka)

ET-TE.MAM, Umm (wadi--Libya)

ALLA.DAD Rahuia (Pakistan)

MAM.ETTE, Lake (Canada)

Sequences of different genres

Palindromic and tautonymic sequences swap places.

APA.MAMA (atoll--Kiribati)

ANA.RORO (Mali)

NAN.CACA (stream-Mozambique

MAMA.APA (hill-East Timor)

RORO.ANA (Solomon Is.)

CACA.NAN (spur--Peru)

Palindromic and Miami sequences swap places.

DID.OUGOU (ruin-Ivory Coast)

NAN.GONGO (hill--Malawi)

NON.CONCO (Angola)

OUGOU.DID (tribal area--Morocco)

GONGO.NAN (Philippines)

CONCO.NON, Rocas (shoal--Panama)

ONE SEQUENCE SAME IN BOTH WORDS

In each of these word pairs, the same palindromic triplet occurs in both words. The remaining letters of the words are rearranged in various ways.

A second palindromic sequence (1221 ) is converted into a tautonymic sequence (1212 or 2121).

ARRA.RAR (wadi--Mali)

NAN.ETTE

GAAG.AIA, Zmeilat (dune--Algeria)

ARAR.RAR (wadi--Algeria)

NAN.TETE (stream--Mozambique)

AGAG.AIA, Chabet el (hill- Algeria)

A second palindromic sequence (12321 ) is converted into a Miami sequence (12312 or 21321 ).

KASAK.OVO Belitsa (Russia)

GARAG.ARA (Libya)

BAB.ANINA (Russia)

AKSAK.OVO (Bulgaria)

GARGA.ARA (wadi--Somalia)

BAB.ANIAN (Pakistan)

A tautonymic sequence (123123) is converted into another tautonymic sequence (312312).

ALA.GANGAN (Nigeria)

ALA.NGANGA (Angola)

In the above 7 pairs of words, the sequences retain their places in the two words. By way of contrast, in these next 3 pairs of words the 2 sequences swap places. The tautonymic sequence (1212) is converted into another tautonymic sequence (2121). The two words are reversals.

APA.LILI (Nicaragua)

OLO.KOKO (Nigeria)

ARA.KAKA (Guyana)

ILIL.APA (East Timor)

OKOK.OLO (Nigeria)

AKAK.ARA (wadi--Niger)

BOTH SEQUENCES DIFFERENT IN BOTH WORDS

This, the most sophisticated type of sequential transposal, comes in a variety of forms.

In the first of these, the swapping of the central letter of the 2 palindromic triplets in a Memnon word makes another Memnon word constructed of 2 new palindromic triplets. The triplets may, or may not, swap places.

ILI.ANA (nz)

ADA.ITI Koma (hill--Djibouti)

ARA.UMU (island- Fr. Polynesia)

INI.ALA (stream- Mozambique)

IDI.ATA (Gabon)

URU.AMA (Nigeria)

Here, a more complex letter swapping takes place between 2 different length palindromic sequences, again producing a word with 2 new palindromic sequences.

LUL.ANNA (a Haida town--Hodge)

TIT.ELLE (q.v.)

NUN.ALLA (abandoned populated place--Canada)

LIL.ETTE (Haiti)

One palindromic sequence and one tautonymic sequence are converted into new sequences of the same length and genres.

NAN.TATA (stream--Mozambique)

ENE.BARBAR (a Marshall Is.)

TAT.ANAN (Turkey)

BERBER.ANA (Spain)

One palindromic sequence and one Miami sequence are converted into new sequences of the same length and genres.

NAN.GANGA (stream-Fiji)

NGANG.ANA (Namibia)

2 palindromic sequences are converted into a tautonymic sequence and a new palindromic sequence.

ARA.EDDE (to set free)

NON.KEEK keek   Scots
intr.v. keeked, keek·ing, keeks
To peek; peep.

n.
A look, especially a quick one; a peek.
 (area in Kenya)

URU.ALLA (Nigeria)

ADAD.ERE (Somalia)

KOK.ENEN (stream--Russia)

LULU.ARA (stream- Argentina)

KIIK.ALA (Finland)

KAKA.ILI (one of the Solomon Is.)

Two palindromic sequences are converted into a Miami sequence and a new palindromic sequence.

KOLOK.UAU (stream- Solomon is.)

TANAT.INI (stream--Peru)

KANAK.ORO (Ivory Coast)

KAK.OULOU (Mali)

NAN.TIATI (cape-Micronesia)

OKROK.ANA (Georgia)

In the most complex transposal I found, a palindromic sequence and a tautonymic sequence are replaced by a Miami sequence and a new palindromic sequence. The two words thus incorporate sequences of three different genres.

ISSI.NENE (escarpment--Mali)

SINSI.ENE (Burkina Faso)

SYNONYMIC SEQUENTIAL WORDS

Finally, let us take a look at sequential words which share the same meaning. SISERARY (a scolding, a blow) is a corruption of CERTIORARI (a writ to call upon the records of a lower court for consideration in the High Court of Justice). Consulting SISERARY in the OED reveals that it has a number of chronological variants, some of which happen to be sequential words.

1. A writ of Certiorari

SURSUR.RARA (TS + TS)--Middleton 1607

SASA.RARA (TS + TS) ... and ... SAS.ARARA A`ra´ra

n. 1. (Zool.) The palm (or great black) cockatoo, of Australia (Microglossus aterrimus).
 (PS + PS)--Tourneur 1607

SIS.SARAS (PS + PS)--Melton 1620

2. with a siserary, with a vengeance; suddenly, promptly

SES.ARARA (PS + PS)--Wentworth Smith 1607

SASSA.RARA (MS + TS)--Goldsmith 1766; Thornbury 1857

SAS.SARARAS (PS +PS). Inferred plural of SASSARARA

SUS.SARARAS (PS + PS). Inferred plural of SUSSARARA--Goldsmith 1770
