Q without U
As long as I'm posting good Scrabble® words:
qat: An African and Arabian plant (Catha edulis) whose leaves have a stimulating effect when chewed. Also used for tea. Also spelled "khat".
qintar: A unit of Albanian currency, valued at 1/100 lek.
qiviut: "[Esk.]", so I assume it's Eskimo; refers to a certain kind of musk ox hair.
qoph: Ninteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Also spelled "koph".
That's all that I found. If you have QE, you're stuck.
All definitions paraphrased from the Webster's New World Dictionary, Second College Edition, ed. in chief David B. Guralnik, © 1980 Simon & Schuster, New York. Just so you know.
Oh, and LJ spellcheck recognizes none of them. Just so you know.
Edit: Strange, qanat isn't in there. I guess Mr. Guralnik considered ancient Arabic irrigation systems too obscure to include in a mere college dictionary – or he never heard of them. I won't hold it against him, of course; I know nothing about him, although he seems to have been a fascinating fellow (although now five years deceased).
