    Meaning: No, it isn't Sarah Palin's home, but one of two other things. Notes: A writer of palindromes is a "palindromist", whose writings are "palindromic" or, if you need an extra syllable, "palindromical". The adverb is "palindromically". I'm not quite sure what we might do palindromically but, should we ever need to, we have a word for it.

    In Play: 'In Play' is the place for palindromes, for palindromes are all play. "Go hang a salami; I'm a lasagna hog!" reads the same from left to right and right to left (ignoring punctuation, of course). "Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?" is another. "Hannah" from "Adaven, Nevada" has a palindromic name in a palindromic town. How about that?

    Word History: Today's Good Word is a mild makeover of Greek "palindromos" = "running back again, recurring", made up of "palin" = "again, backwards" + "dromos" = "running, race, course". We find the root of "palin" in words referring to things ancient, such as "paleontology" and "paleology" = "study of antiquities". "Dromos" comes from a root word that survived in Serbian and Romanian as "drum" = "road". It is found in several other English words borrowed from Greek, including "hippodrome", originally a stadium where "horses" (Greek "hippos") run, "aerodrome", a synonym of "airport", where airplane runways are found, and "syndrome", from "syn" = "(together) with" + "dromos", a set of symptoms that run together.

    'A Healing Palindrome'

    New Harmony, Indiana

    Part of a worldwide art project, this mysterious semicircle of concrete shapes holds the pieces of a larger story.

    IN THE FIELD JUST BELOW the Atheneum in the charming town of New Harmony, Indiana, you’ll find a surprising display: a partial circle of about 20 mysterious concrete shapes.

    This is "A Healing Palindrome", one of the largest installations of Kcymaerxthaere, a global work of multivalent storytelling by artist Eames Demetrios. A series of plaques and other markers around the world honor events that have taken place in a parallel universe that, according to Demetrios, “co-exists to some degree with ours.” Most of these installations are bronze or stone plaques inscribed with stories but some are larger, even entire buildings. As of 2021, there are more than 140 sites spread across six continents and 30 countries.

    Belphegor's Prime (W3)

    Geprägt wurde die Bezeichnung "Belphegor's Prime" - für eine spezielle Primzahl - von Clifford A. Pickover. "Belphegor" verweist auf einen der Sieben Prinzen der Hölle. Diese Bezeichnung soll damit auf ein paar "mysteriöse" Zahlenspielereien mit "666" und "13" verweisen. Zudem kann die Primzahl als Palindrom in beide Richtungen identisch gelesen werden.

    Der sehr umtriebige, 1957 geborene, wissenschaftliche Autor hat diese Benennung sicherlich mit einem zwinkernden Auge vorgenommen.

    (E?)(L?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belphegor%27s_prime

    "Belphegor's prime" is the palindromic prime number 1000000000000066600000000000001, a number which reads the same both backwards and forwards and is only divisible by itself and one.

    The name "Belphegor" refers to one of the Seven Princes of Hell, who was charged with helping people make ingenious inventions and discoveries. "Belphegor's prime" is a name coined by book author Clifford A. Pickover.

    The number itself contains superstitious elements that have given it its name: the number 666 at the heart of Belphegor's Prime is widely associated as being the Number of the Beast, used in symbolism to represent one of the creatures in the Apocalypse or, more commonly, the Devil. This number is surrounded on either side by thirteen zeroes, with thirteen itself long regarded superstitiously as an unlucky number. Also, it in total has 31 digits, which is thirteen backwards.

    In the short scale, this number would be named "One nonillion, sixty-six quadrillion, six hundred trillion and one". In the long scale, this number's name would be "One quintillion, sixty-six billiard, six hundred billion and one".

    What are Palindromes?
    ...
    History of Palindromes

    Everything has a history, and palindromes are certainly not a new thing.

    While new palindromes are created all the time (recent additions to our everyday lexicon include "yay" and "LOL") their history goes all the way back to Classical Greece and the ancient Greek poet Sotades, who in the 3rd century BCE created what was known as the "Sotadean verse". This verse was occasionally palindromic – and may have been so deliberately.

    Over in Herculaneum, meanwhile, an ancient city covered in ash not long after the birth of Christ, a palindrome was found on a stone slab. In its original Latin, it read "Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas".

    Roughly translated, it means "The sower Arepo holds with effort the wheels."

    If you arrange it into a word square, you can read it in four different ways. Pretty damn cool.

    Then there are examples of Byzantine baptismal fonts, which were frequently inscribed with a popular palindrome of the time – "Nipson anomemata me monan opsin", which translated as "Wash your sins, not only your face."

    Fast-forward to Venice in 1802, where a Greek poet wrote a poem entirely in Ancient Greek, in which every single line was a palindrome. Considering that there were 455 lines altogether, that’s some feat.

    And while the English language has contained multiple palindromes for years, English writers formerly were always more obsessed with Greek and Latin palindromic sentences. In fact, it wasn’t until 1614 when the first English-language palindromic sentence was written. The line was "Lewd did I live, & evil I did dwell", and it was coined by John Taylor.

    Today, English-language palindromes are more popular – and recognised – than ever. Indeed, there’s even a "World Palindrome Championship" set in the USA, while the Scottish poet Alastair Reid was responsible for this rather over-the-top effort:

    "T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad; I’d assign it a name; gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet."

    Quite. And that’s probably enough history for now.

Some have suggested that the graffiti is evidence of an early Christian household - the letters, stretched out, make the phrase PATER NOSTER ("Our Father") in the shape of a cross, with a spare A and O (representing Alpha and Omega). Alternatively, it has been described as a piece of magical incantation, used in Greek-inspired mystery religion. The word Abracadabra was used in a similar way in the second century as a triangular chant believed to posses healing properties.

    palindrome

    The earliest known palindrome was found at Herculaneum, which was buried along with neighboring Pompeii in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on August 24, 79 a.d. The palindrome was written in Latin and is known as the "Sator Square". The square is also a word square, that is, when the words are arranged one beneath another in a square, they read the same horizontally and vertically. The square reads
    SATOR
    AREPO
    TENET
    OPERA
    ROTAS
    
    and is capable of several translations, the most plausible being "The sower Arepo holds the wheels with care." Its significance and purpose have been vigorously debated since the late 19th century.

    The word "palindrome" was coined by the English poet and dramatist Ben Jonson (c 1573-1637).

    ORIGIN OF PALINDROME

    Where does palindrome come from?

    The first records of the term "palindrome" come from around 1630. It comes from the Greek "palíndromos", meaning "recurring". A word or phrase that is spelled the same way backward as it does forward might be thought of as having recurring letters.

    Palindromes are a literary device similar to alliteration or rhyme schemes, which allow writers to add an extra layer of written complexity to their works. Sometimes a product or brand with a palindromic name is more memorable, such as the Honda "Civic", "Xerox" [?] printers, "Elle" magazine, and "OXO" cooking products.

    What Is The Longest Palindrome In English?

    (E?)(L?) https://www.dictionary.com/e/palindromic-word/

    "Poor Dan is in a droop." "Sit on a potato pan, Otis." What do these — admittedly very unusual — sentences have in common?

    A "palindrome" is a word, sentence, verse, or even number that reads the same backward or forward. It derives from Greek roots that literally mean "running back" ("palin" is "again", "back", and "dromos", "running".) The word appears to have been created in English based on these roots in the early 1600s.

    Words like "hippodrome" or "velodrome" also feature the Greek "dromos".

    So, a "palindrome" is like a word, phrase, or number that “runs back” on itself. This bit of wordplay is not the same thing as when you rearrange the letters of a word or phrase to spell another one. That’s called an "anagram".

    In palindromes, spacing, punctuation, and capitalization are usually ignored.

    What are some examples of palindromes?

    We use palindromes everyday without thinking about it. Common palindromic — that’s the adjective for palindrome — words include: "noon", "civic", "racecar", "level", and "mom".

    The Finnish word for "soapstone vendor" is supposedly the longest palindrome in everyday use: "saippuakivikauppias".

    The palindrome "Malayalam" is also of significant length. "Malayalam" is a language spoken in South India.

    That’s 12 letters. As for the longest palindrome phrase? In 2002 (a palindromic year, we should note), computer scientist Peter Norvig created a program that generated a palindrome consisting of 74,633 letters. Talk about a man (with a) a plan …

    Palindromes can be given names. Consider the familiar likes of "Bob", "Anna", "Hannah", "Eve", and "Elle". Place names can be palindromes too, such as "Semmes" (in Alabama) and "Ward Draw" (South Dakota).

    Palindromes can also be phrases and complete sentences, such as "No lemon, no melon", and "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm."

    List of palindromes and palindrome phrases Can numbers be palindromes?

    Numbers that read the same forward and back, such as "888" or "1,234,321" are called "palindromic numbers". Calendar dates are another fun instance of palindromic numbers as many dates resemble palindromes when written in certain formats. For example, a bunch of the dates in "February 2022" are palindromes when written in certain month/day/year formats: "February 27" ("2/27/22"), "February 20" ("2/20/2022"), and "February 2" ("2/2/22"). That last one, Groundhog Day, seems particularly fitting as ol’ Punxsutawney Phil may be followed by his own shadow! And "February 22, 2022" — formatted in the US as "2/2/22" — falls on a Tuesday, lending this palindromic the punning nickname of "Twosday".

    What is a fear of palindromes?

    If you’re less than fond of this topic, you may need to add one more palindrome to your vocabulary. "Aibohphobia" is the word (unofficially) used to refer to an "irrational fear of palindromes". It was created to be a palindrome itself, with the word "phobia" ("intense, persistent, irrational fear of a specific object") humorously used — you guessed it — forward and back. ["aiboh p hobia"]

    "Palindrome" also has a specific application in biochemistry. Here, it is a region of DNA in which the sequence of nucleotides is identical with an inverted sequence in the complementary strand. "GAATTC" is a palindrome of "CTTAAG".

    What Is a Palindrome?

    A "palindrome" is a word, a phrase, or a sequence of words that read the same way in either direction, as with "madam", "don't nod", and "Eva, can I see bees in a cave?" A palindrome can include spaces and punctuation.

    The word comes from the Greek palindromos ("running back again"; palin "back," dromos "direction"). Its original meaning applied to the backward movement of a crab.

    Sources suggest different dates of the word's earliest use, but they seem to agree that it appeared sometime between the first and third centuries A.D. It is cited as having been introduced into English in the seventeenth century by a British poet and writer.

    Some of the most common palindromes are character units that form the same word front to back and back to front.

    Examples You'll also find palindromes as multi-word phrases.

    Examples The marvel of palindromes reveals itself most when they extend into full sentences.

    Examples The longest palindromic sentence on record contains 21,012 words (a number that is itself a palindrome). The designer, Peter Norvig, released it at 20:02 (U.S. military time) on 02/20/2002.

    Saturday, 22 May 2010 - Policy Wonks Know It Backwards - Posted by M.H. Forsyth

    The left-winger said all the other candidates were "policy wonks" and "men in their 40s who played football together". - Diane Abbott in The Mirror

    This takes us to what might prove the biggest problem of all: that four ex-wonks with limited life experience - The Guardian

    There is, as everybody knows, a figure of speech that if you know something well, you know it backwards. Therefore, if you know something backwards, you wonk it. Hence a policy wonk.

    It is the same formation as yob, Llareggub and mooreeffoc, all of which I have blogged upon before. The first words ever said by one human to another were palindromic:

    Madam, I'm Adam.

    P.S. This is one of those occasions where the OED has clearly got it wrong. They conflate two different uses of the word and then suggest that over-brainy people at Harvard wouldn't spend their time making up semordnilaps.

    Monday, 12 April 2010 - Llareggub Yobs - Posted by M.H. Forsyth

    I was told the other day that a yob was a backwards boy. I didn't believe it. So many etymologies are much too neat and fanciful, especially the ones that involve acronyms and the movement of letters (shit does not mean Store High In Transit). But having pooh-poohed the idea I returned to my burrow and checked a dictionary only to discover that it really is backslang.

    Backslang was a code used by Victorian costermongers and Edwardian thieves. There appears to have been quite a wide (and potentially limitless) vocabulary. I'm not sure how far you can credit The Box of Delights* (1935) with linguistic accuracy, but in it two would-be kidnappers use the phrase "Kool slop" which is explained thuslyly:

    We would point out that the mystic words uttered by the reprobates are common thieves' slang: 'Kool slop' is what is called back slang: the words Look Police turned backwards. It is a familiar warning in the underworld.

    This seems credible because the thing about backslang is that you have to be able to spell. To know that yob is boy backwards means that you know that Y can function as a consonant or a vowel - knowledge that would be denied to your typical urchin before the educational reforms of the 1880s.

    [Londoners: there's a lovely point that when the tube was built it was assumed that most of the passengers would be illiterate so they wouldn't know when the train had arrived at their stop. That's why each station has a different pretty pattern of tiles. It is for the use of the illiterate. The same goes for pub signs, but I'm wandering.]

    Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas is the only good radio-play ever written, and is set in the Welsh town of Llareggub, which is deliciously convincing as all Welsh place names are invented by throwing consonants into a blender, or by very lazy Countdown contestants.

    However, the reversible nature of Llareggub was considered so obvious by the printers that early editions changed it to Llaregyb, just to be on the safeside.

    The Reverend Eli Jenkins, inky in his cool front parlour or poem-room, tells only the truth in his Lifework--the Population, Main Industry, Shipping, History, Topography, Flora and Fauna of the town he worships in--the White Book of Llarregub.

    Which shows that I am not the only inky fellow in the land.

    It is the glamour of grammar, let a human into the secrets of the written word and he will start playing with anagrams, acronyms, "palindromes" and "semordnilaps"; inventing, rearranging, tangling and encrypting.

    There is an almost holy feel to it, which is perhaps why so many people spend so much time trying to decode the Bible. Of course, this is hard for English speakers (unless you believe the King James Version to be divinely inspired), but in Hebrew you can have hours of fun counting the alephs and deducing the mind of God. As Coleman says in Antic Hay when asked who the devil he is:

    'I am that I am,' said Coleman. 'But I have with me [...] a physiologue, a pedagogue and a priapagogue; for I leave out of account mere artists and journalists whose titles do not end with the magic syllable. And finally,' indicating himself, 'plain Dog, which being interpreted kabbalistically backwards, signifies God. 'All at your service.'

    "I am that I am", is another of God's titles and a picture of NATASHA I is used to similar effect in Nick Cave's And the Ass Saw the Angel while Red Rum, who won the Grand National whilst I was being born, had his name rudely hijacked by Stephen King. I have blogged before on the wonderful word mooreeffoc, any schoolchild knows which cheese is made backwards and anybody who will pay a pound for a bottle of Evian water is just that.

    Yet I'm sure I'm forgetting one of the great examples of what are apparently called "semordnilaps" ("palindromes" backwards). And it's not even T.S. Eliot's morbid insistence on his middle initial.

    T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad. I'd assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot-toilet. - Auden (allegedly)

    Dylan Thomas' map of Llareggub

    No prizes for guessing what book I re-read a couple of weeks ago.

    P.S. There's a good article on backslang here.

    Friday, 6 November 2009 - What the Dickens? - Posted by M.H. Forsyth

    The only reason T.S. Eliot insisted on his middle initial was that he was morbidly aware of what his name would have spelled backwards without it. Auden (whose H was idiopathic) wrote a palindrome on the subject:

    T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad. I'd assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot-toilet.

    S was a real name, though, it stood (appropriately) for Stearns, a name by which he briefly tried to be known as a student: i.e. T. Stearns Eliot. This is, incidentally, the reason that it's the Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. The debilitating fear of the cloacal also produced, through inversion, the completely superfluous reference to the Turdus aonalaschkae pallasii, in the author's notes on The Waste Land.

    Meanwhile the phrase "What the Dickens" has nothing whatsoever to do with Charles Dickens (unless Shakespeare was blessed with the gift of prognostication). It pops up in "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and is derived (like almost every other renaissance expletive) from Devil.

    Just a little follow-up to my post on the grammar of Dickens and Eliot.

    The inscription side of the amulet contains a Greek inscription.

    The amulet contains a Greek inscription, 59 letters long, which reads the same backwards as it does forwards, a feature known as a palindrome. The three letters at the very bottom, "EAI", were squeezed in and are hard to read. The amulet is about 1.4 inches by 1.6 inches (34.9 millimeters by 41.2 millimeters) in size. The inscription translates as "Iahweh is the bearer of the secret name, the lion of Re secure in his shrine." Although the translation doesn’t read as a palindrome, the original ancient Greek text does.

    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.

    A word, phrase, or sentence that's spelled the same backwards and forwards.

    In its most literal sense, "palindrome" means "running back again".

    The "-drome" is from Greek "dromos", or "running" (which also gives us the name of that speedy desert runner, the "dromedary"). The "palin" means "again".

    "I don't know about you, but I just can't decide whether my favorite palindrome is "Sit on a pan, Otis!" or "Go hang a salami - I'm a lasagna hog"."

    "Palindrome": a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of symbols or elements, whose meaning may be interpreted the same way in either forward or reverse direction. Famous examples include "Amore, Roma", "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" and "No ‘x’ in ‘Nixon’". Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word "palindrome" was coined from the Greek roots "palin" ("again") and "dromos" ("way", "direction") by the English writer Ben Jonson in the 17th century.

    The Best Examples of Palindromes in the English Language

    Explore the history of palindromes and some of their best — and weirdest — uses
    ...
    The History of Palindromes

    “Palindrome” derives from the Greek word "palíndromos", meaning "running back again". However, the use of palindromes was not exclusive to the Greeks. Since at least 79 AD, "palindromes" appeared in Latin, Hebrew, and Sanskrit. English poet John Taylor was hailed as one of the first palindrome writers when he wrote: "Lewd did I live, & evil I did dwel."

    In the following centuries, palindromes increased in popularity, and by 1971, the Guinness Book of World Records began to officially recognize the world's longest palindromes. Between 1971 and 1980, the winner grew from 242 words to 11,125 words. Today, palindromes are celebrated on "Palindrome Days", when the numerical date is itself a palindrome (e.g. "11/02/2011").

    With palindromes, the same rules of punctuation, capitalization and spacing don’t apply. For example, the word "Hannah" is a palindrome, even though both "H’s" aren’t capitalized. And what about words that spell another word backwards, like "live" becoming "evil"? That’s called a "semordnilap", which happens to be itself a "semordnilap" of "palindrome".

    Record-Breaking Palindromes

    You're probably familiar with some of the most famous palindromes in the English language, like "Madam, I'm Adam" and "a nut for a jar of tuna." How many of these lesser-known, record-breaking palindromes do you know?

    The longest palindromic English word, according to the Guinness Book of World records: "detartrated". The Guinness Book of Records bestowed the honor of longest English palindrome to "detartrated", which is the preterit and past participle of "detartrate", meaning "to remove tartrates", or organic compounds. Unlike most English palindromes, which usually have seven letters or fewer, this has 11 — impressive, except that Finnish palindromes easily rival it, with two having 25 letters.

    The longest palindromic English word, according to the Oxford English Dictionary: "tattarrattat". Coined by James Joyce in his 1922 novel Ulysses, the word is an "onomatopoeia". It has been used to describe the sound of someone knocking on a door.

    The most recognizable palindromic poem: "Doppelgänger" by English poet James A. Lindon. At the poem’s midway point, each line is repeated backwards. The use of the device has literary significance: the concept of a doppelgänger involves a ghostly reflection of oneself, and the palindromic structure means that the latter half of the poem serves as a reflection of the first half.

    The best palindromic place name: "Wassamassaw". "Wassamassaw" is a swamp in South Carolina

    The best Finnish palindrome: "saippuakuppinippukauppias". This is the Finnish word for a "soap cup trader", one of the longest palindromes in the world

    The longest palindromic novel: Lawrence Levine’s Dr. Awkward & Olson in Oslo. In 1986, Lawrence Levine published the 31,954-word Dr. Awkward & Olson in Oslo. Like Stephen’s letter, the novel is primarily gibberish.

    The history-based palindrome: "Able was I ere I saw Elba." This palindrome related to French leader Napoleon Bonaparte’s exile to the island of Elba.

    The best album title: "Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas" ("Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas"). In 1991, American rock band Soundgarden included this bonus CD with some editions of Badmotorfinger, their third studio album.

    The longest letter: David Stephen’s Satire: Veritas. Published in 1980 as a monograph, the letter is 58,706 words long.

    The ancient Roman palindrome: "In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni." Like the Greeks, the Romans were also fans of palindromes, and this translates to "we enter the circle after dark and are consumed by fire", which was believed to relate to how moths circled a flame.

    Palindromes in Math, Science, and Music

    Palindromic strands of DNA can be found in molecular biology, and mathematicians may look for palindromic numbers that have unique properties. Classical, experimental, and humorist composers have integrated musical palindromes into their work, including Joseph Haydn and Weird Al Yankovic.

    Hadyn's Symphony No. 47 in G Major was nicknamed "The Palindrome" since the "Minuetto al Roverso" and the Trio are both written so that second part of each piece is the same as the first, only backwards.

    A "palindrome" (from the Greek "palindromos" "running back again") is a word, verse, sentence, or integer that reads the same forward or backward. For example, "Able was I ere I saw Elba" or "333313333". Here is a little longer one by Peter Hilton (a code-breaker on the British team that cracked the German Enigma): "Doc, note. I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod".

    A "palindromic prime" is simply a prime which is a palindrome. Obviously this depends on the base in which the number is written (for example, Mersenne primes are palindromic base 2). When no radix is indicated, we assume the radix is 10.

    "Madam, I’m Adam", says Adam when he meets a woman for the first time. Not only is Adam polite, he’s also using a palindrome, a word or phrase that can be read the same way either forward or backward.

    "Racecar", "radar", "stats", "eye", "Mom" — these are examples of palindromes, and if you reverse the letters, the words will stay the same. An entire phrase can be a palindrome, like this: "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama." Palindrome comes from a Greek word that means "running back again", which describes the back and forth nature of palindromes very well. Here’s a palindrome you can use at parties to impress people: "Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas." It really works!

    A "palindrome" is a word or phrase with letters that read the same backwards and forwards, such as "taco cat", "nurses run", and "a nut for a jar of tuna". Word-unit palindromes are similar, although you read them word by word. One example: "You can cage a swallow, but you can’t swallow a cage, can you?" Another is goes "Fall leaves after leaves fall." And then there’s "Did I say you never say ‘Never say never?’ You say I did."

    "palindrome", a word, verse, or sentence that reads exactly the same backward as forward.

    The best known palindrome is probably the remark Napoleon supposedly made when he was banished to the island of Elba after his removal as emperor of France: "Able was I ere I saw Elba." Of course there is also:

    "Sore was I ere I saw Eros" and "Live was I ere I saw evil".

    There was a special palindrome that was created for Time magazine: "Live on, Time, emit no evil."

    A Latin palindrome has a sentence that not only reads backward but also has each word that reads backward: "Sator arepo tenet opera rotas." It is translated as, "Sator [a man's name] holds the handles of the plow in plowing." In addition, the first letter of each word spells the first word, Sator, the second letter of each word spells the second, arepo, and so on through the sentence, and this is also true when you do it backwards.

    Other palindromes include:

    Palindrome Examples: Fun Forward and Backward Words

    A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or sequence of words that reads the same backward as forward. Punctuation and spaces between the words or lettering are allowed. The palindrome examples below will provide some interesting insight into this wordplay. For instance, do you know just how far back palindromes date?

    Examples of Single-Word Palindromes

    The longest single-word palindrome in the English language, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is the onomatopoeic word "tattarrattat", coined in Ulysses by James Joyce (1922). It refers to a knock on the door. Other fun palindrome words include: The longest palindrome in use today is said to be the 19-letter Finnish word "saippuakivikauppias", which means soapstone vendor.

    Multiple Word Palindrome Phrases

    Palindromes aren't limited to one-word terms. There are a few multi-word phrases that actually spell the same thing forward and backward.

    Palindrome Sentence Examples

    Believe it or not, there are even some complete sentences (and even a few questions!) that are palindromes. Most, but not all, examples of sentence palindromes are quite brief. Types of Palindromes

    There are several different types of palindromes. They all have one thing in common: they all read the same whether you read them from left to right or right to left. Discover how they differ.

    Character by Character Palindromes

    The most common of English palindromes are those that are read character by character. This means that each character (letter) of the word matches and the word can be spelled the same forward and backward. All single-word palindromes are character by character palindromes.

    Palindromes That Ignore Punctuation

    Palindrome examples also exist in phrases or sentences where punctuation, capitals and spacing are ignored. Examples include: Name Palindromes

    Palindromes exist in names too. For example, a past Prime Minister of Cambodia was named Lon Nol. The name of the band Abba is also a palindrome.

    Word Palindromes

    Word palindromes are an interesting variation of standard palindromes. They use whole words rather than letters, for example, "First ladies rule the State and state the rule: ladies first." Here, instead of each character matching, the entire sentence can be read backward and forward, one word at a time. The individual letters don't match, but the whole words do.

    Magic Word Square Palindromes

    Terms that can be used to create a magic word square are another type of this phenomenon. This type of palindrome word is able to reproduce itself. If a word is formed from the first letters of each word, and then from the second, the third and so on, the term can then be arranged into a word square. A word square can be read in four different ways: horizontally or vertically from either top left to bottom right or bottom right to top left.

    Number Palindromes

    Palindromes aren't just a word game. They are also found in numbers and are studied in recreational mathematics. In fact, a palindromic prime is a prime number that reads the same from left to right and right to left, such as 191 and 313.

    Palindromes are even seen in molecular biology. Many molecular lengths between four and eight nucleotides are palindromic. They correspond to nitrogenous sequences that read the same forward as they do backward.

    Date Palindromes

    Palindromes are seen in dates. They occur when a particular date can be written in a numeric form such that it reads the same frontward and backward. One example is the numeric form of December 11, 2021 (12/11/21).

    Musical Palindromes

    Palindromes also occur in acoustics when a recorded phrase sounds the same as it does live when the recording is played backward. Palindromes can be found in musical compositions, including The Owl and the Pussy Cat by Igor Stravinsky.

    History of the Palindrome

    The word palindrome is derived from the Greek words palin, which means "back" or "again" and dromos, which means "direction." The actual Greek phrase alluded to the backward movement of the crab.

    First Known Palindrome

    This first known palindrome was in Latin; it read sator arepo tenet opera rotas. This phase means either:

    It's not exactly a grammatically correct sentence, but it's still pretty fun.

    Other Ancient Uses

    Palindromes were also found in ancient Greek and in ancient Sanskrit. So, it seems that people have been having quite a lot of fun with these unique words for a long time. Palindromes date back to about A.D. 70 when they were first found as graffito (graffiti) buried in ash at the ancient city of Herculaneum.

    Brain Teasers

    The purpose of using palindromes in your writing, whether it's words, whole sentences or numbers, is to exercise your brain, working within tight parameters to create something interesting and entertaining. Consider them a type of brain teaser. Go ahead and have fun with palindrome words! For more oddities of the English language, check out emordnilap examples. These are words that spell out different words when read forward and backward.

    Word of the Day: "Palindrome" (noun)

    Definition: A number, word, or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, e.g. "2002" (number), "don't nod" (letters) or "food is food" (words).

    Usage: This week we celebrated a rare palindromic date (the adjective of today's word). October 2, 2001 (10 02 2001) was the first such since August 31, 1380 (08 31 1380). The next will be January 2, 2010 (01 02 2010). Of course, in Europe, where the day precedes the month in writing dates, the next palindromic date will be 01 February 2010 (01 02 2010).

    Suggested Usage: There are "letter palindromes": "Senile felines"; "Dennis sinned"; "Dee saw a seed"; "Norma is as selfless as I am, Ron"; "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm". There are palindromes in foreign languages "Elu par cette crapule" "Elected by this creep" German: "Ein Ledergurt trug Redel nie" "Redel never wore a leather belt"; Latin: "Subi dura a rudibus" "Endure rough treatment from uncultured brutes." Finally, there are word palindromes, such as "All for one and one for all" (Alexandre Dumas, 'The Three Musketeers', 1844). "So patient a doctor to doctor a patient so." See yourDictionary's Fun & Games pages for more palindromes.

    Etymology: From Greek "palindromos" = "running back again" from "palin" = "back", "again" + "dromos" = "race", "running". Related to "hippodromos" = "chariot road" from "hippos" = "horse" + "dromos" = "running", "race(-course)". Akin to "syndrome" from Greek "sundromos" = "running together" made up of "sun-", "syn-" = "with", "together" + "dromos".
