Remarks

The longest German word palindromes are: Relief pillars (13), Annasusanna (11), storage shelf (10), shelf storage (10), Legovogel (9), Malajalam (9), Marktkram (9), Reitstier (9), sereneres (9 ).

In addition, there is an almost unlimited number of other word palindromes that can be divided into several categories:

Over 1000 toponyms (geographical names) such as Ada , Ii or the Akasaka district in Tokyo, the waters with the name Aa or the Adda and Ćirić rivers

Over 200 first names from all over the world such as Lehel , Neven , Onno (with the variant Ommo ), Teet or Utu

Technical terms and scientific terms or names. Examples are Nun (Hebrew letter), Cauac (religion), Acca (biology), Aidemedia (zoology), Laal (language)

Proper names of companies, products, clubs or bands, which were mostly deliberately chosen as a palindrome. Examples are Tennet , Ata , Civic , Sugus , Tacocat , Xamax , Xanax , Maoam or the pop group Abba

Songs from various bands that were deliberately chosen as a palindrome, such as Animositisomina , Aoxomoxoa , Dorkrockcorkrod and Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas

Finally, joking to constructed word compositions from APO grandpa to Mongognom, fog of life, ex-marriage witch, storage bin emergency shelf, Samoaomas, eibohphobia, the famous Retsina canister to word combinations with a very questionable meaning such as servant envy, Lido cork Crocodile, Maetressen-Chicken-Eater-Team, Siamese-Ego-Genesis-Corn
