A friend of mine, a couple of years ago, gave me two English words that had
no vowel (aeiouy) in them.  I can't remember the words, but I am fairly
sure that they both had a "w" in them acting as a vowel.  I remember them
being Celtic for rolling hills or something...  Here is one that Webster's
9th says is not standard English:

	crwth \kruth\ n [Welsh] (14th century): an ancient Celtic
	stringed instrument that is plucked or bowed.

Anyone know the words or any others.  Please mail to me and I will summarize.
