This is only slightly related, but doesn't the ��ũ��븮 (Dae-deok Techno Valley) look more like Dae-daeok take no belly?

And Bruce Willis in ȣ��Ƽ��. Is it Hostage? Or is it Hosty-G?

I found another which is similar to "�ٵ� ��."
It goes, "�ٵ� ��."
If we can find more verbs ending in -��, we can make up some originals.

I need some help, though:
What does �̺�� mean? I can't find it in the dictionary.

Also, I don't get this one:

>. Question ...

Why doesn't the word palindrome actually practise what it preaches ??? A little ironic isn't it ???

To be more consistent ( & representative ) it should be called palinilap OR a dromemord.

I think "wordrow" would be a good one too. Wink

Not to be a nitpicker but are those words really palindromes? I thought a palindrome had to be spelled the same backwards and forwards. Ah heck, here is the dictionary definition. Razz

pal��in��drome ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pln-drm)
n.
A word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward. For example: A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
A segment of double-stranded DNA in which the nucleotide sequence of one strand reads in reverse order to that of the complementary strand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[From Greek palindromos, running back again, recurring : palin, again; see kwel-1 in Indo-European Roots + dromos, a running.]

Like "noon" or "Otto" or words like that. I think �� would qualify so that's my contribution. Razz

Whatever the case, those words are interesting nonetheless.

Hello, Guri Guy!

No, those aren't palindromes.
When jajdude suggested wordrow, we got off the subject. That is both a palindrome and a homological word, so we got off on homological words.
I was afraid we would get the two mixed up, so I started a thread on homological words:
