Did you know this word (not a question for native English speakers!)? Did you notice there is only ONE vowel among so many letters??

Of course, we should note that the letter y in the above cases is actually a vowel since it has the �i � sound and not the �j � sound (as in yellow).
The letter Y can be regarded as both a consonant and a vowel. |

Yes, Pilar, you could have used "schmaltz", which does have only one vowel. Bruce |
