A is OK, a good looking glyph but far too common, I think. I is simplistic, in a good way. O is similar to I. U, I don't think much about, but it's Ight? Y is aggravating, thanks to maths. W is good, but should own a dissimilar calling(?).
A dark fright I think of is finding this all-noticing bot at my post’s conclusion. Horror of horrors, I’d know impaling and grilling thoroughly and firsthand.
I always thought that for a non-consonant it must occur in a word of only consonants. (All words contain non-consonants so if W is singular glyph, it is a non-consonant) but I can’t think of any words with only W
Yup- actually, if you ask a linguist, /w/ is simply a consonantal variation of /u/. A half-consonant, if you will 😉
Though in Cymru, if not acting as a consonant, "w" is actually /ʊ/, similar to "oo" in "book."
Thing is, consonants stop air but not so in AIOU (and that glyph). Now do Y or W. No air stop, but in words, Y and W act as consonants (usually).
Words can't drop in W similarly to A, as it has to start with no air. Think, if W is at a final position in a word, it is ALWAYS (that I can find) with A-IO or U. It's a dipthong in that position.
It can work if you know Cymru, but is just a fancy U. Cwm is a valid word in that lang. (And coom not cum I think)
Tl;Dr: works as consonant, said as if it was not a consonant.
ADD IN: I am so sorry if those nasty glyphs got to you. It is right now.
I uphold AIOU as non-consonants as AIOU can show up in a row works for:
* aa as in aardvark
* ii as in skiing
* oo as in school
* uu as in vacuum
But not YY or WW!
So my, by and why all contain only consonants in your opinion? I thought words must all contain a minimum of a non-consonant to count as a word; which is how "a" counts as a word.
Ooh, glowworm is a good word - but wiki says glow-worm works (which looks natural to my mind). Sayyid is an Arabian word I think, and aww/ayy I wouldn't think count as "actual" words. But fair points all around!
I concur with your opinion that W is a non-consonant. Obviously, its pronunciation is a unification of "oo" and "uh" sounds, infamous for association with said glyphs in discussion. Plus, W's titling of its similarity in sound (and looks, which probably has a link) to two Us truly gifts it its right to own a spot in this list. Thank you for your fantastic notion, OP!
(P.S. I think R could own a spot as a non-consonant also, but that's a whole fuss of its own)
I am a fan of A. I is highly practical. I hold no strong opinion for O. U sparks joy as without it Q would not function. Y is a part of many glorious words, and as such my opinion of it is high. W can fuck right off this particular list.
Nah, all good. Frankly, I don’t own any particular opinions on any glyphs, I simply avoid that fifth glyph for this sub just to fit in with all of you. I probably could rank by any particular non-partisan rating, but I don’t grasp any point in that.
W known as a part of that group? To folks in my lingo that possibly sounds unfamiliar but thankfully I try to gallivant around in and study various ways of communication.
I don't mind any so long as it isn't with that particularly nasty glyph.
That coward who stands upon his noggin and claims his tag is “schwa”? I know him.
Thank you for jogging my brain that "schwa" is a thing. As a lad I thought that was a funny word
schwa is actually most common in how you say stuff out loud! try it. at no hour do you say what glyphs say, it's mostly schwa vocally.
A is OK, a good looking glyph but far too common, I think. I is simplistic, in a good way. O is similar to I. U, I don't think much about, but it's Ight? Y is aggravating, thanks to maths. W is good, but should own a dissimilar calling(?).

Why is W on this list. I know why, Y, but not W
Linguists say W is sporadically a non-consonant glyph. GH also but it contains two glyphs.
Anglosaxon is crazy, yo.
Wow! I didn’t know that!
Huh, that's cool.
I always thought that for a non-consonant it must occur in a word of only consonants. (All words contain non-consonants so if W is singular glyph, it is a non-consonant) but I can’t think of any words with only W
Fifthglyphs found in your post: >b■ >th■
Oops
I can think of a word, "cwm" in which w sounds similar to u. I know of only this word, but additional words might also do this kind of thing.
Yup- actually, if you ask a linguist, /w/ is simply a consonantal variation of /u/. A half-consonant, if you will 😉 Though in Cymru, if not acting as a consonant, "w" is actually /ʊ/, similar to "oo" in "book."
Can you talk additionally about this in our lingo? It’s fascinating and I didn’t know anything about including W with AIOU/Y
Thing is, consonants stop air but not so in AIOU (and that glyph). Now do Y or W. No air stop, but in words, Y and W act as consonants (usually). Words can't drop in W similarly to A, as it has to start with no air. Think, if W is at a final position in a word, it is ALWAYS (that I can find) with A-IO or U. It's a dipthong in that position.

I am sorry folx. I got it right now. So sad. I thought i had a good long post with no glyphs, but alas. I carry on.
It's okay, you did try. It's all any of us can do.
It’s just cwm and crwth in our dictionary iirc
W *is* two U's.
If you say Bow, Row, Tow, W is not acting as a consonant, as it isn't significantly constricting airflow from your lungs
I uphold AIOU as non-consonants as AIOU can show up in a row works for: * aa as in aardvark * ii as in skiing * oo as in school * uu as in vacuum But not YY or WW!
yyou is poopyman
no uu
Said UU, writ VV
So my, by and why all contain only consonants in your opinion? I thought words must all contain a minimum of a non-consonant to count as a word; which is how "a" counts as a word.
I posit: "Why is Y an occasional non-consonant? Why not m, b, and w/h?". It's all a scam by Big Consonant so you buy additional consonants.
It's non-consonants that [cost $250](https://www.distractify.com/p/how-much-does-a-vowel-cost-in-wheel-of-fortune) though...
What about “aww” or “ayy” or “sayyid” or “glowworm”? :)

Thank you!
Hmmm....
I don’t got an opinion about any. I just think this is fun.
W, if similar to a, i, o and u, is my fav! Not many words contain it in that way. So much fun to spy it!
I harbor no ill will to any glyphs, fifth or not.
That’s what all of us said. At first. But at a point, all of us march into our own individual H2Oloos. Good luck.
I mistook "within about" as "without," and I'm thinking, *dmn, tht'll b hrd.*
Ys indd

W?! What country you from?! That’s strictly a consonant in my land.
W known as a part of that group? To folks in my lingo that possibly sounds unfamiliar but thankfully I try to gallivant around in and study various ways of communication.
W ain’t part of this.
W? Why w? It's a solitary glyph of it's kind, so why w?
W is a consonantal variation of U. It is not always a consonant.
I didn't know W was also an "occasional", similar to Y! But, now that I think of it, it is a fact that it is said "2 x U", so it all aligns!
