Mantaci et al have shown that if a word $x$ on the
alphabet $\{a,b\}$ has a Burrows-Wheeler Transform of the form
$b^ia^j$ then $x$ is a conjugate or a power of a conjugate of a
standard word. We give an alternative proof of this result and
describe words on the alphabet $\{a,b,c\}$ whose transforms have
the form $c^ib^ja^k$. These words have some common properties with
standard words. We also present some results about words on larger
alphabets having similar properties.
