that's dumb...when you do word problems like this you always count i as a word. and, you will find ha in the dictionary, and ouch, and wow, as interjections, but not er. you can make up a word that is anything.
i can go from hard to easy saying verbs:
hard
eard "i wanted to eard you when i found out."
eary "when did she eary last time?"
easy

making up a word doesn't mean you can use it, but that doesn't mean all of the same part of speech can't work.
