Hi just wondering if anybody is interested in making or looking at ambigrams, just to tell you what these are. they are usually words that can be viewed in a normal way and then usually the other way or in a mirror, or more. here is an example of an ambigram

I also thought it was odd that neither 'ambigram' or "anagram" were examples of themselves.

No that's a palindrome (something that is the same forwards and backwards)

see Bennyishire's post and anagram is an anagram of "a granma" There is a term used for the words themselves falling under what the word defines (a noun is a noun, polysyllabic is polysyllabic, etc.), but I can't think of it.

Ambigrams just seem kind of fudgy to me, where people have to make it look like graffiti for it to work.
