This term's plural, twyndyllyngs, seems to have some notoriety as the longest English word without any of the five traditional vowels. OED has this as an alternative form of twinling. It describes this form as "Middle English" with a quote from the 1483 Catholicon Anglicum. You can find plenty of relatively modern reprints of that text on Google Books, but there is little else in the way of uses. This, that and the other (talk) 14:33, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
