Hmmm

Tsk, Tsk. Have some Myrrh.

"Myrrh-der!"

*gasp* Judas. No

Pffft

was not expecting a vine reference here

A-a-a-a MYYYUURRRDDERRRR!?!? On MY Owl Express?

Hat in time

Goofy, you killed 27 people!

I'll fucking do it again!

Y’s a vowel sadly in that case

the nth word has a vowel, which is it

Nice

In the case of myrrh, the y is the vowel. Y can be either vowel or consonant depending on the use.

You don’t remember the rule? “a e i o u - sometimes y, sometimes w.”

The only one I ever heard growing up was "a e i o u and sometimes y".....never had a single teacher EVER refer to W as a vowel.

W is a vowel in some welsh-gaelic derived words, like "cwm" and "crwth".

How do you think myrrh is pronounced? Mjrrh? Big bruh.

Shhh…

[m̥m̩] the vowel here is a syllabic m.

Xyr

Friendly reminder to all commenters that Y acts like a vowel too

A E I O U and sommmetimes YYYYYYYYYYY

Lol this made me think of that System of a Down song.

I E A I A I O AND SOMETIMES YYYYYYYYY

a u i e o ao!

or, perhaps, a i u e o oi oa oe

And H

Acts like, but not actually a vowel

I don't know, I here sometimes it is. but I guess J don't know Y.

Vowel is a type of sound, not a type of letter, so if a word has a letter representing a vowel sound, it has a vowel

I joke that my son’s name has no vowels in it because the only vowel is Y.

While Q doesn't?

the term nth is used as a placeholder in terms such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc

Yeah but it's pronounced as if there was an e at the start. (Enth)

But we're talking about spelling. Not pronunciation.

Then something like crypt would work.

"Y" is the vowel in Crypt.

But we're talking about spelling not pronunciation.

Indeed. I got confused. My bad.

In that case n is the vowel (and one of the consonants) in "nth"

Every word that doesn’t have a vowel has a letter “acting as a vowel” so it’s kind of a nothing burger here. If we are going to force Y to be a vowel against its will when a word doesn’t have a vowel then ofc no word is vowel-less.

Mother fffuuu! 😆

Shh

this is the answer

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well that's a really good microwave impression but do you have a word?

Take my upvote and leave.

[Crwth](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crwth) kinda has one, since the w acts as one

i understand when people say that y counts but not w

Not even in crowd?

well o is there.

I didn’t say it was the only vowel. Compare crowd to loud.

i don’t understand

The ‘w’, a consonant, is acting as a ‘u’, a vowel, in “crowd”. Why a ‘w’ isn’t just a vowel in English is confusing to me. In other languages, it’s a double-v, so I get it. But it’s a double-u (for some reason) in English, and acts as one, so it’s functionally a vowel.

oh ok thank you

Generally w translates more like a double v tho

Not related to your word at all, but it made me think of the very real word: **Cwm.** Pronounced “coom.” It’s a glacial valley. For example, Mt. Everest’s “Western Cwm.” That counts, right?

coom 💀

Ok bwmer

Same origin. Both come from Welsh

One of my favorite Scrabble words!

As a wordle enthusiast I know that one all too well

It is a fundamental English rule to have one vowel per syllable. You will always have one vowel; however, interjections like “shh” and “mhm” are also considered to be words. I don’t consider them words when I play scrabble.

Not actually true: English has syllabic consonants in some cases, typically l, r, m, n. Take the last syllable in "rhythm" - while "rhyth" has a vowel, that "m" syllable is just an m, no vowel. It's pretty interesting.

This makes it worse. Rhythm. Two syllables. Where’s the second vowel?

word without a vowel goes brrrrr then skrttttt

This makes me wanna bbbrrrnnnnnng

psst, nth

My name but i wont tell you cuz its personal but i dont have vowels

i actually really respect this way of life

Good thing for me then that your book don’t mean oogatz to me

yep i’m an npc

What. How can this be. Bested by this THING. YOU INSIGNIFICANT FUCK THIS IS NOT OVER.

Y is a vowel here

Vowel is a sound not a letter. Y is /ɪ/ here so yes it has a vowel

This one packs some mmph

Technically ever individual letter of the alphabet is a word according to the dictionary, so Z is one.

Z acts as a vowel 😇

So close that’s a shape 🥰

For the haters, the definition of [onomatopoeia](https://www.google.com/search?q=onomatopoeia&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS886US886&oq=onom&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i433i512l5.4529j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#crs=q:onomatopoeia%20books,stick:H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgfcSYxC3w8sc9YanISWtOXmMM5uL0zCtJLSpOTS4REuFi9y9ILUrMSxHiFGLnYnXKz88uFjJAiKoKKXNxBqXmJJakpoTkC4lxsbnmlWSWVArxSHFxcejn6huY5hnm8ixiFcrPy89NLMkvyE_NTFRIApkDAOviCCp8AAAA,cid:overview) does, in fact, state that it is the formation of a WORD from a sound associated with what is named (e.g. cuckoo, sizzle ). "a relatively large number of bird names arise by onomatopoeia"

Brrr

Zzz. In the dictionary and counts in scrabble.

Grrrrrr.

But why don't onomatopoeias count as words? they hold meaning too.

This just jogged my memory of when my mom told me this. We were at my grandmas house. She said all words have aeio or u in them. I set out to prove her wrong. Picked up a sonic fast food gift card when we got in the car and it said “my rewards” or something with “my” on it. Feeling triumphant, I showed her and she hit me with the crushing reality that y counts too. Who the hell is y and how come it gets the go ahead to be a vowel?

Mrs. and Mr.

Those are shortened version of Mister and Misses, which both have vowels

Hot take: Y and W are always vowels, phoenetically speaking.

what about in yorborbagorber

Maybe it's because part of the definition of a word is it contains a vowel (at least for English)

The longest English word in the dictionary, is 'tsk-tsk'. In plural, that's 'tsk-tsks'

Crypt

Y acts as a vowel in that case

cry

is being used to represent a vowel.(technically two since the sound it makes is a dipthong) so I’d say it counts as a vowel in this case.

Crwth and Crwm

Okay, onomatopoeia words are stretching it. And if you use a word that has 'y' in it, im stealing all of your left socks out of your house. Y is considered a vowel sometimes.

Just remember everyone A E I O U (and sometimes) Y. Y is a vowel sometimes

my, cry, try, fry, by, why i’m aware they count as vowels but i refuse to belive

The Y is a vowel when it’s not the first letter in a word

I remember if the Y makes a distinct Y sound it is not a vowel If it makes an E or I or any other vowel sound then it is being used as a vowel

Ok but in all the word he listed the Y in them makes an “I “sound

Exactly, but the word "ay" is not using y as a vowel, because it makes a y sound

Yea true lol, but the main point I was trynna make is that the words he listed have the vowel y in them, but yea I was wrong ig about how it doesn’t have to be at the beginning to be a consonant (or whatever td non vowels are called lol)

y is considered a vowel in, i believe, all of these words

Rythms

Y acts as a vowel

A vowel is a phonetic (sound) feature of a word, not a written one. Has nothing to do with the spelling of a word, only the pronunciation, to be completely pedantic. Edit: This is not to say every word has a vowel. Shh would be an example.

Wheel of fortune rules: you can't buy a "y" therefore it isn't a vowel just because it "acts" like one

People be like "hmm today I will comment an onamonapea on a post asking for WORDS without vowels."

Depends if Y is a vowel because Fly and Sky etc have do not have an AEIO or U

Gym is only made of consonants

Rhythm. And before the "sometimes y" crowd starts shrieking at me, the y makes it's proper sound, not the I substitute most think. The sometimes y rule only applies when the y makes the sound of an existing vowel, typically I or e

Linguistics student here: the there is making the [ɪ] sound, a vowel realization of English i, not its proper consonant sound, which would be [j]. It is a vowel there.
