Well, you probably could get away with it in the course of everyday writing, but if you wrote "blueeyed" for MY consumption, I'd whip out the old red pen and dutifully stick a hyphen between "blue" and "eyed," turning your "blueeyed," which is visually torturous, into the ocularly pleasing "blue-eyed." Of course, I've always been told I'm too Argus-eyed for my own good, so you would have to take my editorial criticism with a proverbial grain of salt.

Are there any triple vowels in English?

(e.g., -iism and -iite forms) I think the only triples you'll find are hyphenated (like see-er and no-see-em).
