Friday Puzzler -- vowels
Alex Y
Can you find any words that contain all five vowels A, E, I, O, and U? In any order, with or without Y.
Extra credit for any such words in which the vowels appear in alphabetical order, including Y.
I'm aware of eight such words, two of which meet the second condition. (Two of the eight are based on another word in the list, so you might say there are only six truly different words.)

My daughters are teachers so their profession is one obvious choice.
Excellent
Alex Y
One that was not on my list! And so obvious once you see it!

Larry Barrett
Abstemious, and I think you can add ly to the end.
Good for extra credit
Alex Y
That is one of the ones that has the vowels, including the y, in alphabetical order. And 2 of the 8 I was aware of. (Notice the claim that I was aware of 8, not "that I figured out" 8.)

equinanimous
Another I didn't have!
Alex Y
And I think we could also add "equanimous", although as I read the definitions (I hadn't heard of either word), they appear to be alternate words derived from the same root with the same meaning. And the adverbial form equanimously also.
Hint 1
Alex Y
adj., a type of engineer, or
n., the field of expertise of that engineer
Hint 2
Alex Y
adj: evil, wicked
Hint 3
Alex Y
a disease
Hint 4
Alex Y
Like Larry's "abstemious(ly)", this is another adjective with five vowels in alphabetical order, that becomes six vowels in the adverbial form. This word is about twice as common as abstemious (as measured by google hits).
Re: Hint 1
Larry Barrett
aeronautical, aeronautics
Re: Hint 3
Larry Barrett
leukemia
Alex Y
I don't see an "o"
Re:
Larry Barrett
oops- how about autoimmune
That's another one I didn't have
Alex Y
I was thinking about pneumonia.
Re: Friday Puzzler -- vowels

efficacious
Nice job!
Alex Y
Obviously a lot more of these than I was aware of! The other one like abstemiously is

That is the one that was on the tip of my tongue, but didn't get any further.
