Can you provide a list of the outliers with only 1-2 occurrences? Eg: word for 20 Letters, 8 syllables.
Would be super interesting.

It might take me a little while to do all of them. The 20-letter 8-syllable words are "institutionalization" and "counterrevolutionary."

Incomprehensibility is a 19 letter word with 8 syllables, FWIW.
Perhaps it's not in the top 50,000... but that seems incomprehensible to me ;-).

What about, incomprehensibilitization. 😏

Ah yes, English... the language where you can verbify any noun, then change it back and engage in verbification.

Anyone can be a verbificationer!

But only some know about unverbificationizing.

Would that be the process by which one makes something no longer understandable?

If you wanted to make that easier to understand, you might need a deincomprehensibilizationer
