闢謠
這個詞在形式上是按順序將蛋白的所有胺基酸殘基的英文名排列在一起。
反駁
其他類似單詞
除此以外,還有一個類似的單詞,一共有172個字母:Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon。這是一個從其他語言翻譯成英文的一個單詞,意思是一種食物,英語詞典不收錄這個詞。目前還不確定這個詞是否和之前那個1909個字母的詞一樣,也是合成出來的。
