How about the word "vowel" itself? Or the word "vow"?
The letter 'w' can represent both a vowel sound (as in "cow" or "now") and a consonant sound (as in "well" or "window").
'Wife' has a long vowel sound: w-eye-f.
The vowel sound for "one" is a short U, with a W preceding. (wun)
The O in "once" has a W-short U (wuh) vowel sound, as does the number one (wun).
Yes, the letter "o" in "aglow" represents a long vowel sound.
In "allow," the vowel "a" makes the schwa sound, represented by the upside-down "e" symbol /ə/.
The vowel O in owl is controlled by the following W, making the vowel neither short or long. It makes the sound OW, as in COW.
The "w" sound is created by rounding the lips and producing a voiced bilabial glide. It is a semi-vowel sound that is commonly found in words like "well" and "went."
In English, the letter "w" is considered a vowel when it is part of a diphthong, which is a combination of two vowel sounds pronounced in one syllable (e.g. in words like "cow" or "how"). In these cases, the "w" does not function as a consonant and instead helps create the diphthong sound.
