What is a noun that ends in vowel and y?

This is a bit tricky! Here's why:

* Nouns generally don't end in "y" after a vowel. The "y" acts as a vowel in this case.

* Words ending in "y" after a vowel are usually adjectives (e.g., happy, funny, messy)

Let's look at some examples:

* Monkey: Ends in a consonant ("y" is acting as a consonant)

* Valley: Ends in a consonant ("y" is acting as a consonant)

So, there isn't a common noun that ends in a vowel and "y".
