OP Several not very interesting words:
aguish aisling akaryote algetic
A bit more interesting:
albarium alcarraza alepidote aliphatic aliquant alkyd
The last shall be first. "alkyd" referred to a synthetic resin used as a "spar varnish" and
bright fast drying paints before WWII. They gave a beautiful finish, but had one horrid
failing. I put a lot of work into large sturdy study table, and gave it several coats of
clear alkyd varnish. It looked beautiful until one night I spilled some sodium bicarbonate
solution I made to quench heartburn. Over night,it ate the four coats of varnish right down to the
wood.
