      Those aren’t really English “words” though. There’s some old welsh in there which actually used W as a double U. And then some onomatopoeia, which while defined in some dictionaries, aren’t really words anymore than abbreviations like CIA or FCC are words.

              Y is only sometimes a vowel: when it forms a vowel sound in a word.

              In the case of “dry, crypt and dryly”, we could perhaps spell them “drie, cript and drielee” if we wish to see where those more familiar vowel sounds exist in those words.

                Yeah, I’ve been reading up on it since the previous commentator drew my attention to it. Odd the bits of eduction you miss in life.

      A cwm (pronounced /ˈkuːm/) is used in English in a technical geographical or mountaineering context to mean a deep hollow in a mountainous area
