I've used that as a Scrabble word and had to defend it!
 
The best Scrabble word ever: QIVIAT. An acceptable spelling of the original Inuit word <span style="font-style: italic">Qiviut</span>, meaning a wool made from the fur underlining of a musk ox. I believe it is the only acceptable word in English that has a Q and no U, but you'll need one of those $59.95 dictionaries to prove it. There are one or two others where the U is not next to the Q, but they still have a U somewhere in the word.

Also QATAR is a proper noun.

That one's not in my dictionary, but I see online that it's also former Albanian unit of currency. So I guess it's cool as well.

However my word still wins 19 points to 15.
