| There are many Arabic words that are transliterated with U-less
Qs -- Qatar comes to mind immediately.
Are there any common - or uncommon - English words like this? No.

Re .3
>qwerty
First, I'm not sure it's a word. Second, I'm not sure that the double-u
doesn't count as a 'u' plus another 'u'.
Totally random thoughts (from totally random minds)

This topic made me think of a lyric fragment from a parody version of
a song popular in the sixties:
If an X or a Q, dear,
Should fall into my hand,
I'd concede the game to you, dear,
It'd be all over, and
I could search the whole board over
Until the game is through
But I know I'll never find
Another U.
Another U.? Is that near Wassamatta U.?
And let's have no shepherd jokes concerning not finding another ewe.

| QUANTAS is not allowed as it's an acronym standing for:
Queensland and Northern Territories Aerial Service (I think) but
as you probably didn't know...
LUFTHANSA stands for:
Let Us Feel The Hostess And Not Say Anything!
COMPAQ is an IBM PC clone available in the UK.
