Default Words beginning with Dw!
There are apparently only 3 words in the english language that start with the letters Dw. Can anyone name them?

(Now I know looking up a dictionary will give you the answers straightaway but it kinda ruins the albeit limited fun in the question)

I got this from an american TV show, so if it turns out there are more than 3, then sorry everyone.

Dw.......

Well done LIzzie and Fernzy! There's also "dwelling" but they didn't have that in the show I watched. Dunno why, maybe cos it originates from dwell.

Ah well, thats this thread over then, lol.

I remember this question being asked in West Wing. Dwindle, dwell and dwarf are the only three - apart from derivatives of those words, like dwelling.
