There are many letters than can be put into a consonant blend. There are 2 types of blends, the beginning blend and the ending blend. Many consonants can be put into both blends. Some consonants like Q, W can only be put in a beginning blend, but not the ending blend. Some consonants like J, V, X can only be put into an ending blend, but not the beginning blend. Some consonants like H, Y can't be put into a consonant blend and can only be an individual consonant. The H and Y also can only start a certain syllable, and they can't really end a certain syllable. With the unblended consonants, they make some fun tricks them. With the H, they use it to form a consonant digraph, which are when 2 consonants combine together to make one new sound like in a hybrid bond like CH, the unvoiced J sound, SH, the deeper S sound, etc. Consonant digraphs can be called the "H-brothers" because they often use an H. With the Y, they sometimes use it to behave like a vowel, so Y is a semi-vowel. The other reason that they use Y as a semi-vowel is because there's only quite a few words that contains Y, typically starting with Y. If Y begins a word or a certain syllable, it's a consonant but if Y is through a certain syllable, it ends a word or a certain syllable, then it's a vowel.
