Re: [math-fun] Legitimate word with a triple letter

Doesn't someone have a copy of Borgmann's fabled Language on Vacation?

Dmitri doesn't do multiple letters per se but does reference AA- AATAMAD (an unidentified town in Palestine) as the first word in English "exhibiting a consonant" and ZZZZ (to snore) as the last. The latter is re-used in the Consonantal Concentrations section wherein he also mentions HMMMM (an expression of pleasure or astonishment) and the three-letter multiples PHFFFT and BZZZBZZZ. According to Jeff Grant (Word Ways), "AAAAAH takes over from AAAATAMAD in W.R. Cooper's 1876 An Archaic Dictionary as the first dictionary entry containing a consonant".
