Posted by Eugene Volokh: Consecutive Vowels: A recent post led me to notice that "obsequious" has four consecutive vowels. What not very rare English word has five vowels in a row? It's not a really common word, but it yields hundreds of thousands of hits on google (unlike, say, "miaoued"), and it's not a proper noun.
