I just thought I'd try a new game out and see how far it gets. The aim of the game is to list words in alphabetical order, but the third letter must be a vowel. The vowels (A, E I, O & U) also have to be listed in alphabetical order, using a reoccurring theme, so the first word would start with A and have the first vowel as the third letter, the second word starts with B and has the second vowel as the third letter, etc. Once we've gone past E as the first letter of the word in question the fifth letter of the alphabet - the next five words from F to J start with the vowels running in alphabetical order again, and the game continues in this fashion all the way up to Z. Once we've gone past Z the next word starts with A. If we get a straight run of twenty-six words listed correctly listed then the twenty-seventh word will revert back to starting with A and will have E as the third letter. I'll post the first word to start you off - if you want to try the game out and see how far you can get feel free to carry on the thread.
Abandon
B... ( with E as the third letter)

The third letter was meant to be a vowel - an A in this instance, as the vowels rotate with every post - so in order to get the thread back on track I'll post up an alternative that would have sufficed:
Elation
So, in keeping with the rules explained in the original post on this thread, the next word would start with F and have E as the third letter:
