Alien Origin – Shenel Document Revealed

Shenel – proposal for the naming of a word containing others within its two outer letters.

The name derives from combining (blending or portmanteau) the first three letters of shell and last three of kernel, as in nut. The beginning also, inadvertently on my conscious part, connotates femininity through the pronoun she; that retrospectively made me think the shenel words also resemble a pregnant female carrying a smaller entity. Introspectively, apologies to females if you think I should have thought about you before nuts!

As with most nuts and pregnancies, there is usually one within the outer, but sometimes there are twins, or more. Also, as there are classic shaped nuts, or wonky ones, the shenel can be a classic, such as a kernel word filling all the letters between the shell’s outer ones, or an imperfect one, like the wonky range of fruit and vegetables now featured in supermarkets.

Examples:

aLIEn
yOUTh
tRUTh
deFINITEly

I later researched my concise dictionary, like the PhD graduate I am, and found hundreds of examples.
