Is unload a vowel or consonant?

"Unload" is a verb, not a vowel or consonant.

It is made up of the following sounds:

* Un- (pronounced as a consonant blend, /ʌn/)

* -load (pronounced with the vowel sound /oʊ/ followed by the consonant sounds /l/ and /d/)

So, while "unload" contains both vowel and consonant sounds, it's not a single vowel or consonant itself.
