logology
(E?)(L?) http://www.wordsmith.org/awad
(E?)(L?) http://www.wordsmith.org/words/logology.wav
The science or study of words.
From Greek "logos" = "word" + "-logy", from Middle English "-logie", from Latin "-logia", from Greek "logos" = "word".
In 1965, Dmitri Borgmann resurrected an old word, logology, and gave it a new meaning of recreational letter play. How appropriate that the word denoting the study of words viewed as letter patterns should itself be of such recreational interest. Logology encompasses two five-letter anchored palindromes - logol and golog - and repeats the cluster log.
Logology is a beautifully balanced word:
- It alternates between consonant and vowel throughout.
- In its lower case form, its odd letters alternate between poking their heads above the writing line (the two l's) and dragging their tails below that line (the two g's).
- If you assign a value of 1 to the letter a, 2 to b, and continue up to 26 for z, logology averages 13.5, the perfect midpoint of the alphabet.

Palindrome (W3)
Das engl. "Palindrome" geht zurück auf griech. "pálin" = "zurück" und griech. "dramein" = "laufen", weil es vorwärts und rückwärts gelesen das gleich Wort ergibt.
