Do we have a word in English that doesn't have a vowel:-D

I should be very surprised, but in English nothing is impossible. :roll:

There's "nth": "This was Dan's moment, and he took it to the nth degree". It's prounced "enth".

I mean in English one never knows. I don't think this is possible, but who knows? I persnally don't know any word without a vowel.

I had just written this, black cat, when I saw this site, and , of course, I know these words:

Words without vowels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Look, these are only some of them:

by, cry, sky, why, gym, crypt, hymn, lynx,

I think though, the letter y is considered a half-vowel.
You are right. "Y" is a vowel in all of those words.

Perhaps ‘mhm’ for <yes> and ‘hmhm’ for <no>?
