Answer 4

More like a word play rather than an actual word, the longest word in the all-time greek dictionary is a compound found in Ecclesiazusae  by Aristofanes.

I do not know the longest word in modern greek, I think that various words qualify and due to the ease at which you can combine words in greek you can make them as long as you wish.

Btw, I would not consider skoulikomermigotripa (worm-ant-hole) as wrong. Even though myrmigki (=ant (n), modern greek) is associated to Myrmidon (etymologically), we also use the "evolved" mermigkas (=ant (m), like in the phrase "o tzitzikas ki o mermigas" (the cicada and the ant) based on Aesop's "the ant and the grasshoper".

edit: Here's another one:

MOLYBOKONTYLOPELEKHTH (also 21 letters and also from a tongue twister)

+ skoulikomermigopaidopoula (25 letters) :-D
