Iron and zinc Let's see, the other two in English would be gold and lead. However, lead does not qualify in Swedish - we call it bly. On the other hand niob is only four letters in Swedish, and so is uran. And tenn ("tin") is also four letters, but I believe it's classified as a half-metal. > E2. There is one other element whose name has 4 letters. > This one is a noble gas. What is it? Neon. Again, Swedish has a few more: Väte (H), Syte (O), Klor (Cl), Brom (Br) |
