Chacham's Journal: Puzzle: 15 letter word, no repeat letters. (Found in a sig)

Simple, word has to be fifteen letters long, and no letters repeated.

On another note. What the longest word (not chemical name) you know? I believe the longest word, in English, is 28 letters. Each language has it's own thing. Such as, anyone know the word in the Bible (Hebrew) that has the highest numerical value? Then there's that book in English without any "e"s.

Fifteen unique letters: uncopyrightable. This week's debate in my journal brought this one home.

And as for the longest non-chemical word: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, 45 letters. It's the name of a disease, made famous first by its length and second by a Simpson's quote.

If you think using a medical term is cheating, we've got the 34-letter antidisestablishmentarianistically, meaning "in the manner of opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England."

Largest gematria in Hebrew Torah

[rpresser]

Such as, anyone know the word in the Bible (Hebrew) that has the highest numerical value?

According to this site [chabadirvine.org], which I found with Google [google.com]:

Question: The largest Gematria - numerical value of a word is in this week's portion. Can you find it?
Answer: Numbers 16:13, the word "Tistarer", equals 1500.

Oh yeah ... "Tista
