Re^5: Vowel search

Jim:

Yes, that's true, but I'm a bit too lazy to write the regular expression that separates the vowel, consonant and silent versions. However, I think it's a reasonable compromise, given that my quick and dirty scan missed:

The various words with a vowel-form of w,
The words in which the y is missing entirely, and
The words where the dictionary uses the wrong letter in place of the y.

Pending evidence to the contrary, I expect that the false inclusions are roughly balanced by the missing entries.
