A definite page for expansion for its music theoretical usage. Might eventually be better moved to "differentia" since that's what it's called by music theorists. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mscuthbert (talk • contribs) 18:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I don't edit Wikipedia, so I don't know the correct way to bring this up. Apologies.

This article claims "euouae" is the longest word in the English language consisting entirely of vowels, and is the word in the English language with the longest substring consisting entirely of vowels. However, I can't find any mention of "euouae" in an English dictionary other than "wiktionary." Notably, the OED has no entry for this "word." Also, this claim is not sourced, as the citation gives a page that doesn't exist, and searching the Guinness site results in no records being found.

I don't know anything about Medieval musical mnemonics, so I can't comment on that part. But I would point out that the other citation isn't exactly authoritative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.97.120.236 (talk) 19:58, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• • I added it back in. I agree that it's questionable that it counts as a word, but the article now simply states that Guinness claims that it is (now sourced to the Guinness website directly). I've also noted that it appears in the Collins dictionary. It would be nice to find a source questioning the claim directly, to present the dispute fairly.

    Technically, the word EUOUAE is tied for most consecutive vowels with its plural, EUOUAES. Besenj (talk) 17:13, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The word is certainly in use in traditional Latin Catholic liturgical choirs.Rithom (talk) 05:55, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed move of a music article to In seagull In saecula saeculorum doesn't seem useful, even leaving aside the question of whether the latter should be merged with Amen. Sparafucil (talk) 20:28, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
