No. The Y in yourself is a consonant Y (yuh sound), not a vowel.
Yes, "yourself" does have a long "i" sound and it is spelled with the letter "y."
The word "lollipop" has a short e sound. It is pronounced as /ˈlɒl.iˌpɒp/.
The Y is often a long I at the end of words, such as cry, try, fly, deny, and rely. It is also long in silent E words such as bye, dye, rye, rhyme, and byte, and in longer words such as gyrate and zygote.
This was a function of the change from Old English (a written language). The vowel Y became widely used to represent the long I sound in Middle English. The Y lost its distinct sound, and words spelled with Y became spelled with I (e.g. gyldan - gild) and vice versa. In some cases, the Y remains in British English but not US English (tyre-tire).
The vowel sound in "boy" is spelled with the letters "o" and "y". It is a diphthong sound, represented by the letters "oy" in this case.
The "y" in "ugly" is pronounced as a short vowel sound.

The long "y" sound is the same as the long "i" sound. The words "my" and "rhyme" have this sound.
The vowel sound in "boy" is spelled with the letters "o" and "y". It is a diphthong sound, represented by the letters "oy" in this case.
The reason anything is spelled anything and not enything is because the base word is any (spelled with an a). It is pronounced so the an has an en sound and the y has an ee sound.
The Y has a long E vowel sound (stud-ee).
No. The Y has a long i sound, as in by and try.
In English, the letter "y" can make a long vowel sound like in the word "myth" or a consonant sound like in the word "yes". The sound it makes depends on the word and its position within the word.
No, the word "eighty" does not have a long "a" sound. The "a" in "eighty" is pronounced as a short vowel sound, like in the word "cat."
The "s" sound is typically spelled as "c" before the letters "e," "i," or "y." Examples include "ceiling," "city," and "cycle." However, there are some exceptions to this rule, such as "soccer" and "sister."
The wh- sound begins many interrogative words, such as why, what, when and where. It is not a simple w- sound, more like an hw- ( in who, whose and whom it has become a simple h- ) sound. The letter Y (pronounced wye) may stand for "why" in shorthand or in texting, I suppose, but it is childish anywhere else.
