apropos of nothing, except a conversation on an other board, OneLook lists 1122 "common" eleven-letter English words.. starting with the letter 'a'!

I am awestricken.

edit: but, to crossthread (1427 c-words), thaumaturgy has eleven(11) letters, along with 628 other t-words.

Blather: takes one to know one. At least I don't feign
intelligence.
