This teaser is wrong:
The longest actual word for the left hand is: aftercataracts
Well, if you want a "common" word, then stewardesses or reverberated both work.
With the right hand, leterally, you can use hyphens. So, the longest "word" would be johnny-jump-up (a plant).
If you are picky, and don't want hyphens, then polyphony is the longest.

I think a hint was really called for here though I liked the concept of the riddle.
