mollusque commented on the list words-made-of-roman-numerals
Are u's allowed, since they would have been written as v's in Latin? E.g., lixivium.

Geez, hadn't thought of that. I remember that scene in Indiana Jones where he spells Jehovah with a J and almost falls to his death.
For truly Latin words like lixivium: I say go for it. You try it first, so the rest of us can see if you fall to your death. Mwahahaha!

Here’s a cheat:
Here’s what it gives me. (I removed single-character “words”.) It looks like we’ve got most of them. You may get better results with a better lexicon. I find it alarming that these lexicons don’t include “cm” and “mm”.January 23, 2011

Here are the extra words yielded (from the very limited lexicons I’m using) by mollusque’s suggestion:
(That’s not bad at all.) I’m not brave enough to add them.My personal opinion is that Us and Vs shouldn’t appear in the same word, so the are no Vs in the list. (That excludes “lixivium”, I’m afraid, although it is a thoroughly gorgeous word.) But I don’t make the rules here.

Does anyone object to the chemical element symbols (“Cd”, “Cl”, “Cm” and “Md”)? (I already added “Di” and “Li” because they’re also names.) How about the unit abbreviations “cm”, “mm” and “Ci”?

@mollusque: I take it back. That word looks mighty fine on this list.

I installed some better lexicons, so here are some expanded word lists. The batch with no “U”s contains 84 words:
There are 62 that employ “U” but not “V”: We end with the six bigeners:January 26, 2011

I must admit a weakness for the u phoneme.
