a word that contains every vowel contigiously

Question

I want a word that contains every vowel aeiou in a CONTIGUOUS fashion.

Bonus points if it ends with y. ;)

IOUEA is contiguous. The linked article also lists AIOUEA and OIOUEAE. There don't seem to be any with Y. — herisson, Apr 28 '16 at 18:31
Did you read the article pointed to by @Josh61? The word is Iouea, a genus of sea sponges, and it seems to be the only one. — Law29, Apr 28 '16 at 18:31
All the English vowels in one word? Impossible. There are thirteen of them, at least, and more in other dialects. The link points to American English pronunciation, as in Kenyon & Knott. — John Lawler, Apr 28 '16 at 18:49

The vowel letters in "abstemiously" are not contiguous (although they are in alphabetical order). This would be a good answer to the supposed "duplicate" (which is not really a duplicate) but it doesn't work as an answer to this question. – herisson Apr 28 '16 at 18:34
true, I misread the question, updated! – Matt Apr 28 '16 at 18:35
This seems to be the French spelling. In English, I would only understand it spelled as meowed which would not satisfy the question. – cobaltduck Apr 28 '16 at 18:46

Well it appears in dicitonary.com, thefreedicitonary.com, Collins dictionary, and wiktionary, all of which are reputable sources – Matt Apr 28 '16 at 18:51
@cobaltduck I don't know about your cat, but mine says miaou – ab2 Apr 28 '16 at 19:42
@Matt I suggest you add the Free Dictionary reference to the text of your answer, to avoid questions about your Felinglish. – ab2 Apr 28 '16 at 19:59
What about Miaoued-ly ? Is that a word? – Paul Nikonowicz Apr 28 '16 at 22:13
