Many words have W for a vowel, such as awe, bow, cow, dew, ewe, few gew-gaw, hew, jaw, known, lawn, maw, now, owe, pew, raw, sew, tow, vow, wow and yawn. However, in these cases, the W is only technically a vowel, because it contributes a vowel sound, as would the letter U, from which it originates. Some words, especially Welsh, use the W as the primary vowel, much as Y is used in English. One example is the word cwm (valley).
Note how unlike open syllables, the vowel in this example is short; vowels in closed syllables do not make the sound of their name when pronounced. Other examples include the words junk, soft and stretch, which each contain one short vowel and end in a consonant.his word contains just one vowel, the letter o, and it occurs at the end of the word. Therefore, it is an open syllable. Vowels on their own are considered open syllables as well sometimes, such as the e in elite or the a in able, which each form a sound on their own.
