Rhythms is the longest English word without a vowel. If y is classed as a consonant, syzygy is the second-longest English word without a vowel, tied with rhythm. Definition of syzygy: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=define%3A+syzygy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syzygy EDIT Notice that the "rhythms" in first place has an "s" on the end. The "rythm" in second place doesn't have an "s". :-)

Since y is sometimes a vowel, doesn't y function as the vowel in rhythm? After all, the y is responsible for the "i" sound in rhythm. ("i" pronounced like the i in "it")
