What is the shortest two-syllable word you can think of used in English? So far, I have only come up with one word with two letters. The word made its way into English from Greek through Latin, is a proper noun, and is used, I’m sure, in many other languages. Can you think more than one?


What is the longest one-syllable word you can think of used in English? I have come up with one that has seven letters, but I’m sure there are other, longer, one-syllable words. Can you think of any?
