The word contains six vowels and seven consonants. There is one more vowel than consonant.
A. The short-vowel rule: When a word or syllable has only one vowel and that vowel is followed by one or more consonants, the vowel is usually short.
There are 6 vowels and 7 consonants so there is 1 more consonant
Assonance
The first name has 3 vowels and 7 consonants and in the second name there are only 2 vowels and 3 consonants, the middle name consists of only the consonant 'B' which means that therefore the name Rutherford B Hayes has 5 vowels and 11 consonants, so there are less vowels that consonants.In this context the letter 'y' is not considered a vowel.It is only considered and vowel in words like hymn and mythwhere the letter has an individual sound.
Generally, yes. The English language letters A, E, I, O, and U are classically the VOWELS (having unshaped phonetic sounds), and the other 21 letters are the CONSONANTS (having shaped sounds).However, more recently the letter Y has been referred to as the "sixth vowel" or a "semi-vowel" because it has an unshaped "i" sound in many uses, and combines with the other vowels (ay, ey, oy, uy) to create specific vowel sounds (a, e, i, oi). These may be considered "vowel pairs" or the effect of a silent Y.* In Welsh, the letter W can also be a vowel, as in many so-called "vowel-less" words such as cwm.(pronounced koom).
There are more consonants.
No, consonance is the repetition of consonants. A more specific form of consonance is alliteration, where the first consonant of a word is repeated. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds.
A syllable is one unit of sound in English. Syllables join consonants and vowels to form words.Syllables can have more than one letter; however, a syllable cannot have more than one sound.Syllables can have more than one consonant and more than one vowel, as well. However, the consonant(s) and vowel(s) that create the syllable cannot make more than one sound.
On a letter wheel with all 26 English letters equally represented, you have a greater chance of spinning a consonant. There are 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and the semi-vowel Y, and the remaining 20 letters (except in Welsh) are consonants.
Thousands or more..
If 'y' is not counted as a vowel, there are several teams in England with 5 or more consonants beginning their name: * Blyth Spartan (6) * Clymping (5) * Clyst Rovers (6) * Plymstock United (6)
