HISTORY A number of VTWs have appeared in Word Ways, as well as in Language on Vacation VACATION. That period of time between the end of one term and beginning of another.

Vowel Tetragrams by Darryl Darryl is a common English name from Old English and Old French origin, generally used for males, but also can be the name of a female. It was used since the time of the Norman Saxon invasion of England. Francis Francis, French prince, duke of Alençon and Anjou Francis, 1554–84, French prince, duke of Alençon and Anjou; youngest son of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici. (74140) is, to date, the only article which directly searches for VTWs. In it, Darryl lists words demonstrating 85 of the 625 different VTs. 48 of these had not appeared previously. Prior to 74140, 96 VTWs had appeared in non-VT contexts. Darryl included 37 of these in his article but overlooked the other 59. The 96 pre- pre- word element [L.], before (in time or space). pre- pref. 1. Earlier; before; prior to: prenatal. 2. 74140 VTWs appear in Language On Vacation and Word Ways (68139, 69136/192, 70213, 71059, 71143 and 74098). Since 74140, words covering at least another 82 VTs have appeared. 14 of these took the form of additions to Darryl's article (Colloquies: 74213, 75021 and 75088). The remaining 68 can be found in The Palindromicon and Word Ways (76088, 77220, 80250, 81157, 81240, 82073, 89254, 91188, 89254, 92185, 93155, 94013, 99173, 2000191 and 2002249). To date, therefore, 226 (96 + 48 + 82) of the 625 VTs have been accounted for. TABLES 1 to 5 I found VTWs for 297 more VTs, making a total of 523 (226 + 297) of the 625 accounted for.

In the latter case, pp = populated place A populated place is, according to the United States Geological Survey, a city, town, or village characterized by buildings and permanent human population and referenced to its geographic coordinates. . Overlapping Tetragrams Words with a vowel pentagram (MIAOUING) have 2 overlapping VTs (IAOU/AOUI); words with a vowel hexagram (ZOUAOUA * pp Morocco Morocco, country, Africa Morocco (mərŏk`ō), officially Kingdom of Morocco, kingdom (2005 est. pop. 32,726,000), 171,834 sq mi (445,050 sq km), NW Africa. ) 3 overlapping VTs (OUAO/UAOU/AOUA); words with a vowel heptagram A heptagram or septegram is a seven-pointed star drawn with seven straight strokes. Geometry In general, a heptagram is any self-intersecting heptagon (7-sided polygon). (Es ZOUAOUIINE pp Morocco) have 4 overlapping VTs (OUAO/UAOU/AOUI/OUII); and words with a vowel octagram In geometry, an octagram is an eight-sided star polygon. Geometry In general, an octagram is any self-intersecting octagon (8-sided polygon). The regular (IJOUAOUOUENE-pp Morocco) have 5 overlapping VTs (OUAO/UAOU/AOUO/OUOU/UOUE). Contiguous Tetragrams These are found only in words with an unbroken group of at least 8 vowels (5 overlapping VTS). Hodge: OUEPERIGOUEIAOUEK (an Algonquian Algonquian (ălgŏng`kēən, –kwēən), branch of the Algonquian-Wakashan linguistic family of North America. See Native American languages. tribe tribe [Lat., tribus: the tripartite division of Romans into Latins, Sabines, and Etruscans], a social group bound by common ancestry and ties of consanguinity and affinity; a common language and territory; and characterized by a political and economic ) Locations: IJOUAOUOUENE (pp), El HAOUAOUIA (an area), and OUAOU1OUST* (hill) are all in Morocco.

In AGUINAOUIAOUI (pp Mali), the 2 VTs are identical and end the word as a tautonymic sequence. Discrete Tetragrams In these words, the 2 vowel tetragrams are separated by at least one consonant consonant Any speech sound characterized by an articulation in which a closure or narrowing of the vocal tract completely or partially blocks the flow of air; also, any letter or symbol representing such a sound. . Hodge: NEGAOUICHIRINIOUEK (probably a part of the Ottawa Ottawa, city, Canada Ottawa (ŏt`əwə), city (1991 pop. 313,987), capital of Canada, SE Ont., at the confluence of the Ottawa and Rideau rivers.

It borders on Mali in the west and north, on Niger in the northeast, on Benin in the southeast, and on Togo, Ghana, and ); HAOUIRIOUIRAT (dune dune, mound or ridge of wind-blown sand formed in arid regions and along coasts. Dunes are common in most of the great deserts of the world. Often a dune begins to form because material is deposited by the wind as it encounters a bush, a rock, or other obstacle to ) and TIOUALAOUALENE (ridge) are both in Mali; SOUAIGOUIA (well in Mauritania Mauritania (môrĭtā`nēə), officially Islamic Republic of Mauritania, republic (2005 est. pop. 3,087,000), 397,953 sq mi (1,030,700 sq km), NW Africa. ). In TIOUIDIOUINE (pp Algeria Algeria (ăljēr`ēə), Arab. Al Djazair, Fr. Algérie, officially People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, republic (2005 est. pop. ), and SIZAOUAGZAOUAGANE (well in Niger), the 2 VTs are identical in each case. Investigating further, we find words which contain 2 discrete unbroken groups of vowels, at least one of which is longer than 4 letters: Hodge: AOUENTSIOUAERON (= Winnebago Winnebago, Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Siouan branch of the Hokan-Siouan linguistic stock (see Native American languages). When Father Jean Nicolet encountered them (1634), the Winnebago lived in E Wisconsin, from Green Bay to Lake Winnebago. ) has a vowel tetragram and a vowel pentagram; OUAOUECHKAIRINIOUEK (= Weskarini) and PAUOITIGOUEIEUHAK (= Chippewa Chippewa, river, United States Chippewa (chĭp`əwô', –wä'), river, c.200 mi (320 km) long, rising in several forks in the lake region of N Wis. ) each have a vowel tetragram and a vowel hexagram. AOUEATSIOUAENHRONONS (= Winnebago) has 2 vowel pentagrams. Locations: Assif n' QUAOURGUIOUA (wadi in Morocco) has a vowel tetragram and a vowel pentagram. Finally, we return to overlapping tetragrams and 2 very special words. Both have unbroken runs of 9 vowels (albeit one of the words is hyphenated), so each provides 6 overlapping VTs: Hodge: OUPERIGOUE-OUAOUAKHI (OUEO/UEOU/EOUA/OUAO/UAOU/AOUA) is an Algonquian tribe. Location: CAUAIAUAIA (AUAI/UAIA/AIAU/IAUA/AUAI/UAIA) is in Angola Angola (ăng-gō`lə), officially Republic of Angola (2005 est. pop. 11,191,000), including the exclave of Cabinda, 481,351 sq mi (1,246,700 sq km), SW Africa. . As far as I am aware, this is the first appearance in Word Ways of a word with an unbroken run of 9 vowels. SOURCES OF NON-OED WORDS
