But if anyone wants to add some...

Thanks for the additional words. Words that spell a different word when
written backward are called semordnilap (palindromes backwards). I had a
short list of words of my own. I have added my words to your list.

Thanks Mick for adding to the list. So now a list is available,
can we expect some rhyming riddles with Revese twist from your hand?
example:
They're a challenge to fold nice and neat,
Reversed, it's a funny luncheon meat.
>Hello everyone,

They're called palindromes (words).

I knew words, that when spelled backward, created different words were
called palindromes. But, I wasn't sure about words that were the same
backward and forward. Thanks.
It seems like there would be another name for that type of word. Oh
well, I guess there are enough words out there that I don't know, to
be worrying about making a new one.

BTW, Do you (or anyone) know of a word longer than "racecar" that is
the same spelled backward?

I remember seeing a word in the Guinness Book of Records a few years ago
which was the longest palindromic word in the English Language.
It is a trade name for an agricultural tool, but the word is now used in
every day usage - 'Rotavator' (9 letters).
By the way, does anyone know if there is a word given to words which
began as trade names but have become synonomous with what they are, eg
hoover, biro (any others?)

No, those are called semordnilap's - Palindromes backwards

So off hand no, ... I know repaper, but that's just as long..
When you add to this reverse verses chain
It doesn't matter if you use again
The words that Carl did, or even mine
What ever you come up with that'll be fine.

Aspirin, also.
You don't see a lot of new ones like this happening, as there are a lot
of 'generic brands' that go around with lots of market share and
'generic names'... So 'Rollerblade', while incredibly common, isn't
superseded by 'in-line skate' (ick).
But, erm, a name for them?
If they came from names originally, they'd be called 'eponyms' but I'm
not sure if that applies to all names in general or only people.
:;fetches reference work "Crazy English" by Richard Lederer;:
The following words were once trademarks but are now eponymized:
zipper (B.F.Goodrich)
aspirin (Bayer)
thermos (King Seely)
escalator (Otis Elevator)
cellophane (E.I.DuPont)
yo-yo (F.Duncan)
brassiere
celluloid
corn flakes
cube steak
dry ice
formica
heroin
kerosene
lanolin
linoleum
linotype
milk of magnesia
mimeograph
pogo stick
raisin bran
shredded wheat
trampoline
The following are *not* eponyms, and are still trademarked (at least
when the book was written in 1989/90):
Baggies Frigidaire Life Savers Pop Tarts
Band-Aid Frisbee Liquid Paper Pyrex
Beer Nuts Hi-Liter Mack trucks Q-Tips
Brillo Pads Jeep Magic Marker Sanforized
BVDs Jell-O Miltown Sanka
Chap Stick Jockey Shorts Novocain Scotch Tape
Coca-Cola/Coke Kitty Litter NutraSweet Sheetrock
Cuisinart Kleenex Ping-Pong (!) Simoniz
Dictaphone Kodak Plexiglas Slim Jim
Dixie Cups Ko-Rec-Type Polaroid Styrofoam
Fig Newtons Levi's Popsicle Technicolor
TV Dinners Vaseline Xerox Walkman
Wiffle Ball X-Acto
Does anyone know if the status of any of these has changed recently?
--Muke!

Hello Angel Rivera,
That's some list. Quite amazing! I have a question. How
about Velcro? (or did I miss it somewhere up there?)

Thanks Ian,
I have always been curious about that racecar palidrome. No
one I have asked could give me a better example. Then came you.
Thanks Again!

Ooops! Thanks Jan. I sit corrected. I think maybe this palidrome
thing has gone to my head. D'oh! Now my brain is processing the info
upside-down AND backwards.

<Mick snickers to himself> That's great Jan. BTW, I gave rhyming
semordilap a chance. I hope they do the same for me. Take care.

Hmmm. Velcro wasn't listed in the book, so I'll have to admit I don't
know.[1] I'd like to know too... offhand I can't think of any other
word used for the stuff!
