Ranbat cancelled because Stronghold is too busy with card games, my cup runneth over with sadness.

Saturday is totally a shitty day to host things there.

So a question I posed a long time ago to some people here was this:

The word "ate" is interesting, because under string rotation it is always a valid English word. You can get "tea", "eat", and then "ate".

A number of onomatopoeia words do, but they tend to just become other onomatopoeia words, e.g. "OH" and "HO", "AH" and "HA", and the same goes for words that are all the same character, like "MM", "AA", "OO".

Two words that have this property that are not onomatopoeia nor acronyms are "ON" and "NO".

How many other words have this property of being always a valid word under string rotation? And do these word sets also exist in other languages (well, not counting ideograph-based written languages, since the basic written unit is a whole entire word)?

I just thought of this again, because I was helping some undergrads with arrays and strings.

wow just wow.

how the hell did the camera man just record it without any comments seeing something out of the movie.

i would've been so salty and pulled that bitch out of the car and teach her a lesson.

that shit is so imbalanced that it's like Lv5 dark wesker. there's nothing you can do, especially against a car with your body.

Anagrams; just google them.

allergy, gallery, largely, regally < this shit, yes?

Nope, an anagram is quite different from what I'm talking about. For instance, when rotating the word "take", the only possible strings are:

take

aket

keta

etak

take

Some possible anagrams/unique orderings of "take" are:

tkae

atke

aetk

ekat

aekt

atek

Now, those anagrams aren't actually English words, but you can see how it's not possible to get those arrangements just by rotation.

If you were to take the word "regally", there's no way to rotate it such that you can get "gallery", even though "gallery" is an anagram of "regally":

regally

egallyr

gallyre

allyreg

llyrega

lyregal

lyregall

yregall

regally
