Isn't it a pretty word? I believe that it and 'rhythm' are the longest English words without vowels. And I like z's. |
"Y" can be either a vowel or a consonant - it's a consonant in "yoke" and "you"- but all the "y"s here in these 2 words are vowels (functioning just like "i" or "ee," rather than initiating a syllable). If it's got consonants (or consonant sounds) on either side of it, it's a vowel.
