Then I suppose there is the Russian Dictionary of All-Consonant Words as a companion volume.

soon as I return from my Chinese Poles class.

As a curiosity, does that dictionary include euouae?

Dan,

As a matter of fact, it does. In fact, I dealt that word in round 1653.:

euouae.
n. a term from Gregorian music formed from the vowels of "seculorum Amen," which ends the Latin hymn "Gloria Patri," as discussed in The Forms and Orders of Western Liturgy from the Tenth to the Eighteenth Century: A Historical Introduction and Guide for Students and Musicians by John Harper.
