spy my nymph hymn fly slyly by.
try thy gym. spy thy lymph cyst, shy gypsy!
spy thy crypt, thy sty. fly, pygmy!
there are 4 words without vowels that I can think of: gym, rhythm, myth and gypsy. There are also some short words like: sky, try, fly, by and cry.
Oh, dude, you're testing my spelling skills now? Alright, let's break it down. Rhythm has the letters y and h, which can sometimes act as vowels, like when they team up to make sounds like in "myth" or "rhythm." So, technically, yes, rhythm has vowels in it. But, like, who really cares, right?
In the word "play," the letter "y" functions as a consonant, representing the "y" sound at the beginning of the syllable. While "y" can act as a vowel in other contexts (such as in "myth" or "gym"), in "play," it does not serve that role. Thus, "y" is not considered a vowel in this instance.
There are two vowels sounds. The first is the AW or caret O sound, as in law, lawn, lawn and long. The second is the short I sound of the suffix -ing as in sin, in, or sing. The AW sound is heard in many spellings. Some include: AW words - claw, brawl, lawn, awed AU words - caught, taught, taut OU words - bought, fought OA words - broad O words - on, long, song, moll, john A words - ball, fall The short I is heard mostly in I and Y words: I words - bid, sniff, wind, this, pick, visit Y words - myth, rhythm E words - began, replace EE words - been A (ag) words - second A in baggage IA (iag) words - marriage
Myth
by, why, myth, rhythm hope it helped..:)
Several Y words have a short I sound like myth. They include rhythm, abyss, dystopia, system, synthesize.
gym(nasium), myth(ology), rhythm
There are a few words where 'y' is the vowel. Examples include by, crypt, dry, fly, fry, cysts, flyby, gym, gypsy, lymph, lynch, my, myth, rhythm, shy, sky and many more.
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.
Fly, why, sty, ply, cry, hymn, myth, lynx, pygmy, rhythm....there's a few to get you started.
Y is not long or short in itself. It often has a long I, short I, or long E sound. Long I - by, try, dynamo Short I - myth, rhythm, system Long E - baby, silly
The I has a short I sound as in brick, stick, and thick. The short I is heard in words such as : I words - bid, sick, hill, if, gift, sit, limb, fizz Y words - gym, myth, rhythm E words - began, replace EE words - been
There aren't any. Every word has a vowel or a Y in it.
The I is short in I words such as bid, hit, sip, and wig. The Y has a short I sound in rhythm and myth. The E can have a short I sound as in began and repair. The EE has a short I sound in been.
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.
The standard vowels are A, E, I , O, and U. The semi-vowels are Y and W. The Y takes the place of a vowel, typically I as in the words by, myth, and rhythm. The W forms the diphthong sound ou/ow in words such as how and cow, where the O loses its O sound. In other ow words, the W can be considered silent (blow, show). (In Welsh, the W is a semi-vowel with the sound of a long U or OO.)
