The Longest Word

As far as I could tell there's no way to filter word length in the dictionary so I ask you, community, out of pure curiosity (inclusive of compound words and use of 'se' and alike): 

What is the longest word in the Dovahzul dictionary?

It might depend whether you mean romanized or in-alphabet. For romanized, the longest words in-dictionary are:

  • Deykelsemindah (Encyclopedia)
  • Zahkriimundein (Swordsmanship)
  • Zeymahzinmaar (Companionship)
  • Grah-Zeymahzin (Ally)
  • Mahralwahlkei (Ficticious)
  • Verlovaasniir (Musical instrument)
  • Mindinhefsul (Afternoon)
  • Volburfahliil (Chimer)
  • Ahrolsedovah (Whiterun)
  • Raanahkoruun (Menagerie)

Most of these are already compound words with "se" so I'm not sure you could legimitately make other "se" words with those. Otherwise, you could make:

  • Zahkriimundein-Deykelsemindah - an encyclopedia on swordsmanship
  • Verlovaasniirsevolburfahliil - a musical instrument of the Chimer
  • Grah-Zeymahzinsevolburfahliil - an ally of the Chimer
  • Mahralwahlkeizeymahzin - "ficticious companion," an imaginary friend
