longest one consonant words

Here is a list of the longest one consonant words I could find.

Note: 'Y' is accepted as a non-consonant only if it ends a syllable (e.g., 'hooey' & 'joey' but not otherwise (e.g., 'deadeye'.

B: BAOBAB C: ACACIA D: IODIDE F: FEOFFEE G: GAUGE H: HOOEY J: JOEY K: KOOKIE L: ALLELUIA M: MAMMAE N: NONUNION P: EPOPOEIA Q: QUEUE R: AURORAE S: OSSEOUS T: TATTOO V: EAVE W: AWEE X: IXIA Y: YOU Z: ZOEAE

can anyone improve on this list?

QUOQUE Latin, but appears in some English Word lists

VEUVE French, ditto

YOYO The second Y fails by your definition of a consonant.

Perhaps, I should say longest single consonant words

I cannot find it used alone; (generally as 'tu quoque'.

Likewise. Where is it used alone as an english word?

It doesn't matter for the case of 'Y' itself.

I accept hyphenated YO-YO as an improvement on YOU.

(A Philippino word that is used alone as an english word.)

Also DEEDED

[...]

ASSESSES, or better yet ASSESSEES, which according to the rec.puzzles FAQ is the 'longest word with one consonant'.

[...]

Whoa. What's this

Noam Elkies:

Come now. DIIODIDE, of course!

I didn't take the time to track down all the origins of these, but I think they are all legitimate words (perhaps with varying degrees of legitimacy). At any rate they all show up numerous times in a Google search.

B: ouabaio (kind of tree) C: coccaceae (bacteria classification) D: diiodide (chemical term) J: ouija K: Kukukuku (proper noun) R: riroriro (type of warbler) T: autoette (small electric vehicle; perhaps a trade name?) V: evovae (musical term) W: weewee? X: euxoa (a moth genus)

Mike Keith Word play, math, music:

I thought I prefered IODIDE to DEEDED and JOEY to JUJU but I think I do prefer maximizing the consonant #.

Does that include proper names?

The online dictionaries don't recognize WOWEE.

Yes, but should be YO-YO.

Of course!

ALLOLALIA is commonly found on the Net.

And DIIODIDED is what happens to you if you argue with someone carrying DIIODIDE

In which case, of course, run to the nearest laboratory and get DEDIIODIDED
