If we consider AY and OY as vowel pairs, many words have Y as a vowel. Unless it is making a consonant Y sound as in yet or yellow, it is a vowel. It can have a long I, short I, or long E sound.Words where Y is the only vowel include by, try, why, myth, hymn, and rhythm.
All words have to have a vowel in them. The five orthodox ones are a,e,i,o,u. However in words such as 'why' and 'sky', the 'y' can be taken to be the vowel. Y is considered a semi-vowel.
Some examples of 5-letter words with the only vowel being "y" are crypt, nymph, glyph, sylph, and tryst. In these words, the letter "y" functions as a vowel, representing the vowel sound in the absence of traditional vowels like a, e, i, o, and u. These words often originate from Greek or Latin roots where "y" can act as a vowel in certain contexts.
I don't think so, if i remember correctly "y" is only a vowel when there is no actual vowel in the word. ex: my Actually, y is a vowel if it sounds like i, as in fry or puny, or in other words, at the end of a word or syllable. At the beginning, it makes the sound of y in you.

Some words that start with a vowel and end in a Y are:animosityanyelectrifyenemyeveryexactlyonlyorneryuglyusury
Y is never a vowel It can often be found in words that have no vowels
No, the 'y' in the word away is not a vowel, seeing not only as how the 'a' prior to it is a vowel, but the actual sound it makes when pronounced aloud. 'Y' is more commonly used as a vowel in words like:~Crypt~Fry~Gym~EyeThe letter is used as a consonant--at the beginning of a word most of the time--in words like:~Yellow~Year~YakHope this helps!
In both of those words Y is considered a vowel. It is a consonant when it is used before a vowel at the beginning of a words or when it separates two vowels.
No, Y is generally considered a consonant, but it can sometimes act as a vowel when it is the only vowel sound in a syllable.
When "y" follows a vowel, it often functions as a consonant, such as in the words "cry" and "myth." "Y" typically represents a consonant sound in this position, even though it is often considered a vowel.
no the only vowels are a,e,i,o,u but they count y as a vowel sometimes but in this case y is not a vowel
