The 5 vowels are a, e, i, o, u
In reverse order meaning these vowels occur as u, o, i ,e, a in the word (when it is read from left to right.)
Hope it a little clearer..

The words I have given have the vowels a,e,u in the reverse order like
unbrella


Now... The word unnoticeably is one word which has all the vowels in reverse order..
