Consecutive letters?

Question:Words like "definition," "crabcake," and "worst" all have three consecutive letters that are also consecutive in the English alphabet (def, abc, and rst resp.). My question: are there any words with four?

Answers:
most have MNOP or RSTU

MNOP (12) --
cremnophobia,gymnopaedic, gymnophiona, gymnoplast, limnophile, limnophilous, limnophorid, limnoplankton, prumnopitys, semnopithecus, somnopathy, thamnophile

RSTU (11)--
bierstube, overstudious, overstudy, overstuff, overstumble, overstunk, superstud, superstuff,understudy, understuff, understumble


one with LMNO - Chelmno (a town in Poland

If the alphabet is treated as a continuous loop (YZAB) -- analyzable.
