Rhythm is one that stands out. Oh, and every single word in ancient hebrew, so I am led to believe.

If we are not counting "y" then there is sky, try, by, and a harder one is crypt. There is Lynx there is a site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_words_without_vowel_letters

A vowel is a moving column of air, and a consonant is an interruption in that moving column of air. Many consonants can take on some of the characteristics of vowels, hmmmmmmmm? This is even more observable in other languages--Serbs spell "Serb" as "Srp." (They also trill the R, which makes it much more pronounceable.) It's not correct to say that ancient Hebrew had only consonants, only that they didn't bother to write the vowels because they didn't need to--just as we don't need to write diacrytical marks over the present and past tenses of the word "read" to know which is which. Just about the worst languages in the world for pronunciation are the Caucasian group, Georgia, Azerbaizhan and so forth. In some of those languages linguists argue whether there are two, one, or zero vowels. Not just in a word--in a whole flippin' language!

"Y" is sometimes a vowel,sometimes a consonant, and sometimes a diphthong. It's a consonant in the word "you" and a vowel in words like daily and a diphthong in words like sky--which in a more phonetic language would be spelled "skay" with the A pronounced as in "ah". English has about 44 sounds but only 26 letters, so some letters & letter combinations have to do double duty. "Y" does triple duty.
