Words with no vowels

Here are the 20 words found in the ENABLE list that do not conatin a vowel. It's a good list to keep handy: brr, brrr, crwth, crwths, cwm, cwms, hm, hmm, mm, nth, pfft, phpht, pht, psst, sh, shh, tsk, tsks, tsktsk, tsktsks.

I'm now convinced that whoever added these stupid "words" to the Enable list were smoking something stronger than tobacco at the time.! Most don't qualify as words, just sounds.!

It is quite usual to put identifiers in word list. That is some words that acts as fingerprints. This makes it easier to fins if a certain wordlist is used in violence with copyright rules. Some of those words must be such identifiers, but other are real onomatopoethicons. I wonder what crwth, crwths, cwm, cwms and nth mean?

I think my favorite word in the above list is brrr. It is used to indicate when one feels cold. Well then, if you're REALLY cold, then shouldn't brrrrr be a word too? And if you're really REALLY cold how about brrrrrrrrrrrr. :) This reminds me of an old joke. Mother, speaking to her young daughter: "Honey, can you spell banana?" The daughter replies, "Sure Mom. B-A-N-A-N-A-N-A-N-A... Mom, I know how to spell it, I just don't know when to stop!"
