Substituting a Y for a vowel

Apr 10, 2008 10:38

DYVOURS recently came up in my studying.  I've seen other weird words where a vowel could be replaced by a Y.  So I decided to see how many words fit this pattern, excluding those that ended with a Y.  Some of these pairs aren't too interesting, but there are definitely some fun words in the list.

7s and 8s behind the cut...

Some really cool words in this batch. FWIW and really just an aside, but that last one can be spelled WILLIWAU too, but not WILLYWAU*.

And quick not for myself really. No HAMMIES* just MAIHEMS! Awesome.

Oh and Memphis is coming back just as strong next year! :o)
