Answer 2

A. It depends what you mean by "vowel" and "word."
There are two things we mean by the word "vowel":

a speech sound made with the vocal tract open
a letter of the alphabet standing for a spoken vowel
(Look up vowel for a more detailed definition.)

Cwm and crwth do not contain the letters a, e, i, o, u, or y, the usual vowels (that is, the usual symbols that stand for vowel sounds) in English. But in those words the letter w simply serves instead, standing for the same sound that "oo" stands for in the words boom and booth. Dr., nth (as in "to the nth degree"), and TV also do not contain any vowel symbols, but they, like cwm and crwth, do contain vowel sounds.

Shh, psst, and mm-hmm do not have vowels, either vowel symbols or vowel sounds. There is some controversy whether they are in fact "words," however. But if a word is "the smallest unit of grammar that can stand alone as a complete utterance, separated by spaces in written language and potentially by pauses in speech" (as it is according to The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language), then those do qualify. Psst, though, is the only one that appears in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Answer 3

Rhythms is the longest recognised word in the english vocabulary that has no vowels

Answer 4

HAI *

Words containing no vowels include Q.T. (as in "on the q.t.") and DJ, both of which appear in the main part of MWCD10 and not in the abbreviations section. Other such words include BRRR, GRR, HMMMM, JHVH, MR., MRS., MS, NTH, PFFT, pH, PHPHT, PHT, PSST, SH, SHH, SSSHHHHH, TSK, TSKS, TSKTSK, TSKTSKS, TV, YHWH, ZZZ, HSH (hush, W3), ST (silence, quiet, W3), TCH (vexation or disgust, W3), TCK (surprise or displeasure), and TST (hissed sound enjoining silence, W3). PHFFFT! and SSSSSSS are titles of movies from 1954 and 1973. The OED has TPRW (the sound of a horn). GRRL is in the Macquarie Dictionary, with the alternate spelling GRRRL [Charles Turner].
