Crwth,
an ancient
Celtic instrument
May
we find words without vowel in English? Yes, we could use
Merriam-Webster,
Urban Dictionary, Thesaurus and Collin English Dictionary to search
its.
It
is believed that at least two words with 5 letters have no vowels:
-
Crwth
-
Cwtch
Crwth
is spelled “crouth,” in which “w” is changed or pronounced to
vowels of “ou.” It was stringed music instrument resembles to
“violin.”
The
instrument was invented about 11th
century, then modified in 13th
century. It was played through 1800’s. However, in modern time,
some parts of England still use “crwth” word to refer to
“violin.”
Then,
the word “cwtch” is pronounced “kutch.” In this case, “c”
read as “k” and “w” as “u.” The word associates with some
meaning:
-
cuddle
-
huge
-
a shed
-
cubbyhole
-
cupboard
-
tiny space for safety
Do
you know some other words without vowels? Or, do you have words
without vowels in your own languages?
uy no conocía esa palabra y me pareció una interesante entrada. Te mando un beso y dudo que español haya palabras sin vocales.

Interesante esta entrada. Saludos y cuidate amiga.
ReplyDeleteUn articolo interessante, e molto originale, che ho apprezzato.
ReplyDeleteCari saluti,silvia
I didn't know that word and I thought it was an interesting instrument to play.
ReplyDeleteI searched on YouTube, because you made me curious how this tool sounds. I think life in medieval times was not so bad!
Enjoy your weekend, Evi!
Hugs!
it's so curious, I've never heard it.
ReplyDeleteThey might be spelled without a vowel but as you explained they are still pronounced with a vowel. There are words in my language without vowels but in those cases the consonant R usually takes the properties of a vowel, for example: 'rt'. In Croatian R is sometimes a consonant but sometimes it is also softer.
ReplyDeleteThis instrument sounds fascinating btw. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sharing 😊
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Evi! Crwth and cwtch are unusual words!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember what my language is without vowels.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote about it very interestingly, best regards.
Very interesting post < 3

Em Portugal existem muitas palavras que, por exemplo, são libertas de uma ou outra vogal. Mas sem nenhuma vogal, que eu conheça, não existe nenhuma.
ReplyDeleteNo inglês sim, Já tenho lido palavras sem qualquer vogal, como por exemplo, as que enumera aqui.
Um texto muito interessante, direi mesmo que, didáctico. Aprender e saber nunca ocupou lugar
Deixando cumprimentos poéticos
Interesting, I cannot think of any just now!
ReplyDeleteBuen día. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the two words, I thought they were Welsh. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
I learn something new every day.

Very interesting! I didn't know this word!
ReplyDeleteA very curious instrument that has no vowels to name it.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for also showing us a whole list of words with the same pronunciation and different meaning.
In the Spanish language these types of examples are given with onomatopoeias = words that imitate sounds of actions, or of named things. I write down examples only with consonants:
snoring: rrrrrrrrr
cat purr: rrr rrr rrr
growl: gr ...!
dream: zzz, zzz, zzz
wind: sss sss sss
Happy start of the week!
Hello

ReplyDeleteA GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
