Do you have the most obscure of Czech words.

James Puckett

I’m trying to find a Czech word that contains the pair ľ<left ascender>. I’ve searched through two word lists of over 270,000 words each and got nothing. But if ďk can occur there must be an ľ pair. Anybody got one?

John Hudson

Not Czech, but a Slovak example would be Veľká

Thanks John!

Ľ and ľ characters are not used in Czech language but in Slovak. Combination of ľk is frequent in Slovak language, but there is also ľh (Oľha), ľb (voľba).
