Article Title

ABCDE in Dutch

Abstract

Susan Thorpe (Word Ways, Feb 1999) asks which of the 120 permutations of ABCDE occur in words. In the context of Word Ways I thought this meant "English word (or name" so I was surprised to see the German verb abdecken and the Polish word abecadto in her list. Surely, French verb abceder (suppurate).
