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.
