Entry ID: A338825 (Edited)

1.

There are a few: radii, taxiing, etc.

2. But not 'bookkeeping'?

3. a word

4. there is a group

Also, there are many more that don't start with h,l or r. For example:

Rhyming reduplications: argy-bargy, arty-farty, boogie-woogie, bow-wow, chock-a-block, easy-peasy, eency-weency, fuddy-duddy, fuzzy-wuzzy, gang-bang, itsy-bitsy, itty-bitty, mumbo-jumbo, namby-pamby, nimbly-bimbly, nitty-gritty, okey-dokey, pall-mall, palsy-walsy, pee-wee, pell-mell, super-duper, teenie-weenie, teeny-weeny, tighty-whitey, willy-nilly, etc.


5.

But 'there' contains six words, including 're'.

6. There are no links at all in this Entry.

No one has picked this up yet. Perhaps, since there are so many oddities in the English language, a complete update is being considered? I imagine there'd be quite a response in Peer review.

The whole entry is a bit of a disaster. It's hard to know whether it is worth patching up.

But...but, it's a topic of interest to many, surely? In the right hands, it could be done with a fair amount of humour. There's bound to be someone out there with the skills to do it. They just need a little encouragement http://tinyurl.com/35laaxc

It's beyond the remit of the Curators,

Perhaps a suggestion at AskH2G2 to see is someone is willing to update it?

I did suggestion 3, but as GB says, the rest is not really curating work.
