FACETIOUSLY is well known as an example of a word with the vowels AEIOUY in
alphabetic order. Are there any words with the vowels in reverse alphabetic
order (the Y should be used as a vowel, now a consonant)? If you can't find
any with YUOIEA, then UOIEA is fine.

Scoring: 10 points if using 'native knowledge', 2 points for grepping through
an on-line dictionary.
