eleven consonants in a row

odctvrtvrstvit
That's a Czech verb, meaning "to remove a quarter of something."
No, I'm not really sure I can pronounce that either.

Oof. Eight consonants.

Yes, I had to look at it before it started to make sense.

I'm told it's the longest string of consonants in a word ever. Georgian and Serbo-Croat wouldn't surprise me.
