I said they're rr, nn, and llll, but the only word I know with llll in it has 
it straddling a compound word boundary. The first part ends with "drobwll", and 
the second begins with "llan" (as does the first). Ff, dd, and ll are not 
double letters in Welsh, but digraphs, counting as single letters.

Did you mean "diarrhetic" or "diuretic"? Which hole does it make water come 
out?

And here's the joke def:
attap, n. A repfume made fpom pose retals.
