Our trivia pal and word sleuth Ken Clark of Kent, Wash., has unearthed two examples of words derived from other words spelled backward. There's "mho," a unit of electrical conductance ("ohm" spelled backward), and "yob," British slang for a young hooligan ("boy" spelled backward).

The two Peer Gynt Suites were extracted by Grieg from the 90 minutes of original music he wrote in 1885 for the five-act Henrik Ibsen play of the same name. Because the play is so long and requires frequent scene changes, it is rarely performed these days.
