Vowelless words in Slavic languages is a boring subject,
there are just too many of them.

Vowelless sentences?  Easy peasy.

Everybody knows: "Strc^ prst skrz krk.", but this one
is even longer:
   Czech:   "Mlz^ pln skvrn zvlhl z mlh."
   English: "Slug full of stains got wet from the fog."   :-)

Well if I combine them I get something like this:
   "Strc^ prst pln skvrn skrz krk."
   "Push (your) finger full of stains through (your) throat." :-)


My favoured long groups of consonants:

Czech:     Zcvrkle' trnky.    Zmrzli' krtci.
English:   Shrunk sloes.      Frozen moles.
