Let's go for three!!! Amateurs! Samoan has the apostrophe as an integral part of its alphabet, three in a word would be a very mediocre effort by Samoan standards.

Why don't we begin with pomegrantes and maybe work up to apples--or down to, as the case may be.

For alliterative reasons, I like anything palagi, but English oder Deutsch would seem especially apt, being the languages of all powres to have exercised colonial overlordship in Samoa. Tofa.

English is the apples and Deutsch doesn't use apostrophes at all that I can remember. No, it's gotta be something totally else.
