Can you find words containing consecutive combinations of two letters in
alphabetic sequence - ab bc cd de etc.?

I am struggling with the following and would appreciate your help:

For "jk", Webster's III lists "Eijkman test": a test for the
identification of coliform bacteria from warm-blooded animals..."

For "pq", Webster's III lists "Umpqua": an Athapaskan people of W,
Oregon ..." Also, "upquiver" fits, I don't have my W.II with me, but I
think it's cited there.
