Vowels and Consonants are the essential elements to form any word. Without them we can’t imagine the formation of any word. But words can be formed without one of them ( using either vowels or consonants ). Students keep tracking such words. There are some words which are formed without the use of vowels and consonants. Check these words below –
First of all there are words without the use of Vowels (a,e,i,o,u ) –
Here ‘ Y ‘ consonant plays an important role. This consonant can produce both Vowel and Consonant Sounds. It can produce the sounds of ( I ) and ( AI ). Here are some words –
- Sky, dry, my, fry, gym, crypt, rhythm, sylphs etc.
- Here are few words using ‘w’. ‘W’ is a semi-vowel.
- Example – crwth, cwtch etc.
- Look at the words without ‘ Y ” or ‘ W ‘ –
- The words are – grr, hmm etc. These are the sounds which are given the shape of words. Such words are called onomatopoeia.
Note – In abbreviations such as km, cm etc. there are no vowels. But they don’t come to this category.
Words without the use of consonants ( Only with the use of vowels ) –
