Cwm

Filed Under C 

Cwm, pronounced “koom.” Why? Because it is the only English word without a vowel. It means “valley.” Grand, isn’t it?

    I believe it is adopted from Welsh.

    there’s a big mistake here!
    it’s not the only English word without a vowel.
    what about sky, spy, sly, fly, try etc.?

    elmo, y is used as a vowel in many, many words. haven’t you ever heard “A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y”?
