What is a word that begins with y and has no vowels?

This is a bit of a trick question! There's no word in the English language that starts with "y" and has no vowels.

Here's why:

* "Y" can act as a vowel: While often used as a consonant, "y" can also be a vowel sound, as in words like "my," "by," and "fly."

* Vowels are essential: All words in English require vowels to create sounds that can be spoken.
