There are a surprising number of words without the 'u' after'q'. They tend to be words adopted from other languages. Some examples are Qabalah, the Jewish mystical tradition, qanat, a tunnel to carry water and qawwali, a Muslim devotional music tradition. There are also place names such as Qatar.
The name of the country Qatar is one. Many other Arabic names have q's which are not followed by u's.
There is NO word in the English language whereby the letter q is not followed by the letter u.
That is a rule in the Spanish language. U follows a Q to make the sylable sound depending on the pronuciation needed. In the English language there is a rule to the letter Q that states that a word starting with the letter Q is allways followed by the U as a second letter.
is it the q and the u
Qatar. A country in the middle east.
this is almost impossible because a 'u' usually comes after a q. so no sorry :(
The 4 letter words with the letters q u and d in it include:quadquid
qantas
quotis
quarts
Torque
Yes, U.S. English typically follows the spelling convention of placing "u" before the letter "q" in words like "queen" or "quite."
