Summary[edit]
DescriptionAmbigrams Chump, honey, M. H. Hill, Bet, and five more words - Strand Magazine 1908.jpg |
English: Ambigrams « Chump », « honey », « M. H. Hill », « Bet », « bung », « maw », « pad », « hay », « dip », words published between June and September 1908 in The Strand Magazine. 180° rotational symmetry. Authors: Mitchell T. Lavin, V. K. Allison, B. R. Bligh and Clarence Williams.
Text says: "ARE THERE OTHERS! As you will notice, the slang word « chump », if written in the manner here shown, reads the same even when held upside down. I think it is the only word in the English language which has this peculiarity, and therefore hope you will consider it worthy of insertion in your « Curiosities » column. - Mr. Mitchell T. Lavin, 931, West Ninth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A." "ANOTHER « REVERSIBLE » WORD. Last month you gave me an example of a word so written that it read th same when turned upside down. Such words are very few and far between, but I have succeeded in discovering another, for which I hope you will be able to find a corner. - Mr. V. K. Allison, Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, New Jersey, U.S.A." "MORE REVERSIBLE WORDS. Seeing the reversible word « chump » among your « curiosities », I am sending you a name, « W. H. Hill », which, when written in the style shown, reads the same when reversed. Surely this is the only name possessing so convenient a peculiarity. - Mr. B. R. Bligh, 2, Porchester Mews, Bayswater, W. In writing the word « Bet » so that it reads the same when upside down, I have simply written the letter B twice – once with the paper inverted. Three letters and one word are thus twice repeated. Possibly B is the only letter of the alphabet that will produce such an interesting anomaly. I also send you five more examples of reversible words. - Mr. Clarence Williams, 2016, Bright Street, Carbrook, Sheffield."Français : Ambigrammes « Chump », « honey », « M. H.
