I think you're headed down a rathole here. Consider words such as
strings, school (and Schaefer :-), inkling, and thoughtful.

Bart, you should perhaps read my original post on this thread which
indicated that _I_ am completely aware that there are a lot of exceptions,
and that the method is likely to result in too many false pozzies. I also
pointed out that there's no requirement for a hostname to be an _english_
_word_.
On further consideration, 'h' should probably just be considered a
non-consonant for the purpose of the tests, which is much easier than
trying to
exclude certain character pairs.
I'm not suggesting that some simply shifting some characters from one class
into another would make this approach feasable, merely that they would
address _some_ of the limitations.
