0 Guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Rhythmic and Strictly won't work. To the linguist, the "Y" is considered a vowel in those words because the phoneme is articulated without obstruction of the air flow (as in a fricitive or labial or interdental stop). As a hint, for it to have a single vowel sound, it generally (or maybe always) will be a monosyllabic word. Try "Strengths" though ... (which is the longest I know of with a single vowel sound). "aioli" will work for © too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Except "rhythm" and maybe others.... I guess there are some that are multisyllabic and single vowel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Here's another good one- Give a word that contains all SIX vowels in order (including Y as a vowel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
