Words with Four Consecutive Vowels

Words with four consecutive vowels are few and far between, but they can come in very handy in a game of Scrabble.

I get very annoyed at Scrabble players, when they "legally" play such "words" as oe and ae. You don't look clever, you look dumb. I don't care what type of lava it is.

I hope those French names are not too cheaty.

A thanks goes to Wordlist. :-)

By the way, I noticed that onomatopoeiaing is rather scarce in the Firefly comics.

@ Milosrdenstvi: I believe aa is the lava you're talking about. I don't like it when Hawaiian (or Navajo or Welsh etc.) words get slipped into a Scrabble game either. (I have yet to hear someone use cwm in a sentence!) But a lot of these are both legal and common!

aa is a terrible romanization, too--the actual word has two consonants and two vowels

(Psst...aeneous has 2 and 3 consecutive vowels, not 4.)
