Today I discovered a palindrome in Kankonian:
jam: to spread jam on ashpoupsha
This is a palindrome in its native Kankonian alphabet: atak, shekh, pop, oubo, pop, shekh, atak.
It comes from ash (on) and poupsha (jam, preserves). This is likely the longest unintentional palindromic word in Kankonian.
What are some palindromic words you have in your conlangs? Have you ever constructed a palindromic sentence?

Re: Palindromc words
All this talk of palindromes recently (this thread, the one on the SATOR square, etc.) really makes me want to craft some of these on purpose now.
Unfortunately, Sijaam Tu isn't necessarily conducive to palindromic words since most words are only one or two syllables. However, it could probably create some epic palindrom sentences due to the vast amount of homophony that is bound to go on once I get more vocabulary done. As of right now, I can't really do much with that.
Not to mention that my project is on hiatus while I focus a bit more on learning Chinese characters... it seems that I can only manage one obsession at a time. Eventually I will swing back around to conlanging. After all, my script for Sijaam just underwent some updates that I wanna make examples in. Maybe my first new ones will be palindromic ones!

If you count <kʷ> as a single graph, Mithara has łukʷasakʷuł which means "He/she will violently rub a fish."

Oh, (s)he will, will (s)he?

Re: Palindromic words
None of the words in Ysjtocka are palindromes except for ibi good.F.PL.NOM...
There aren't any single-letter words either.

Re: Palindromic words
Ooh, this is a great one!
Meanwhile . . . I discovered a TEN-letter palindrome in Kankonian yesterday!
Seshem is a verb meaning "to undo". Meshi is a noun meaning "friend".
Seshemmeshi is a verb meaning "to unfriend". ("To friend" is admeshi, ad- being to prefix for "for" or "to".)
If you want to form a noun to mean the act of friending or unfriending someone on social media, you say admesh or seshemmesh.
Now, by the rules of Kankonian pluralization, the plural of seshemmesh would be . . .
(Drumroll)
seshemmeshes
Spelt: sima, ehis, shekh, ehis, mopha, mopha, ehis, shekh, ehis, sima.

ara.
/'ara/
V-IMP-V
