There's also the more-common word "rhythm" which has six letters, no vowels.

Y CAN BE A VOWEL!

Every word must have a vowel, and Y is included.

im an idiot, i thought every word thought up of has at least one vowel, after looking at this thread, i am found proven wrong

Cyst. Is the Y a vowel, yes, as such Y is a vowel. Also Simple.

The argument that Y cannot be both a vowel and a consonant is only a valid one if you're looking at a single instance.

Vowels and consonants are sounds, not letters. The letters are then classified as vowels or consonants by the sounds they make.

A vowel is a sound inherently syllabic, such that in and of itself it will form a complete syllable descriptive of its sound. A consonant however requires a vowel to be syllabically pronounced. T: tee, teh, tuh, tah, tih, etc.

Then, Y: e, i, why, yah. Y can exist as both a vowel (e, i) or consonant (why, yah), just not at the same time.

As far as classification of the letters go irrespective of specific instance (i.e. in general) Y can be referred to as a vocoid. If you were to look at a ven diagram, you would have a vowel circle and a consonant circle. Where they cross you would find vocoids.

Regardless of what you want to call the letter, the sounds produced by the Y's in words such as cyst and rhythm are vowels. Therefore, the words contain vowels.

myte

There are none in English (unless you count onomatopoeias, like "mmm" or "pffff")

I can't think of one. sorry.

Well we already know 2.
Myst and another one which i cant remember lol.
KEEP THINKING!
And remember, the one who can think of 3 gets to be in my latest flash.
WOO HOO!

At 8/26/08 01:29 PM, Ragnarokia wrote: How is Y a fucking vowel?!?!?!?

Should there be no other vowels present in a word, the Y serves as the vowel. Likewise, some words are composed of all vowels and a Y which is why Y is a consonant in that case.

Yes, a word needs at least 1 consonant as well.

Myst has a vowel, regardless of whether you want to classify Y as something else. And here's why... again...

Does "hmmm" Count as a word.

"Y" is a vowel. I can't believe no one counts that one.

Nonetheless, "Hymn" could be another one.

Here's a simple sentence that sounds like something you'd hear in kindergarten to learn the Y rule.

Dye the cyst yellow.

Y is a consonant in Dye and yellow, Y is a vowel in cyst. How dying a cyst yellow would help is a mystery.

Here DOOKIE... maybe this will help...

All the true statements of "myst" I can come up with...
- Myst is a four letter word containing a vowel.
- Myst is a four letter word containing the letter Y. Such that Y is defined as being a vowel sometimes (but not arbitrarily), Y is a vowel. Therefore, myst is a four letter word containing the vowel Y.
- Myst is a four letter word containing a vocoid. Such that a vocoid is sometimes a vowel (but not arbitrarily), the vocoid is a vowel. Therefore, myst is a four letter word containing a vocoid and vowel - as the terms are not mutually exclusive.

And the false statement...
- Myst is a four letter word without a vowel.

1. No
2. Did u make that wiki page?

Ok people...i think we sohlud count 'Y' as a vowel now even though i dont think it is.
But anyways, getting on:
The person with the most words containing no vowels that are 4 or 5 letters long will get to be in my latest flash.
Sorted. Hopefully.

I dont think anyone cares
Do u?

Still missing half the story. A vowel is a sound. It is a letter when the letter creates the sound. Incase you missed it. A vowel is a sound.

I know that, people have posted that too many times lol.
But im saying that no 'Y's are aloud.

At your discretion or by... you know... actual grammar?

Tsk.
Also called a tisk, but generally, it's spelt tsk.

No words have no vowels.

Cry, by, sky, why, wry, spy, gym, crypt, hymn, lynx, myth, glyph, tryst, nymph, Gypsy, pygmy, flyby, and syzygy are all claim to have no vowels. But Wikipedia is retarded, you see. For the letter Y is in all of those words and in all of those cases, Y is a vowel.
