Just twelve words hold A second and H third, and most of them came into English from somewhere else.

  • WAHOO

  • LAHAR

Where AH Words Came From

This is a group of borrowings. SAHIB arrived from Urdu, BAHTS from Thai, MAHUA and MAHWA from Indian languages, and LAHAR from Javanese.

That is why the opening letter spreads so thinly. Nine letters start twelve words, and the busiest of them takes only three.

O fills the fourth box in four of the twelve, more than any other letter, which is what YAHOO, WAHOO, MAHOE and CAHOW have in common.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AAHED really a word

Yes, the past tense of aah. The doubled A at the front makes it the odd shape among these twelve.

How do MAHUA and MAHWA differ

They are two spellings for the same Indian tree. Both appear here, which makes them an awkward pair to separate.

Do any AH words repeat a letter

Three do. YAHOO and WAHOO both double the O, and AAHED doubles the A.
