A horrible argument. W's appear, modify the first vowel's sound- consider 'few' -without any consonantal closure, i.e. no flick of tongue against teeth, no bringing the lips together, etc.
Though like y the w is predominantly a consonant, it may function occasionally as a vowel.

You're agreeing with me because I can't see an example where W is used as a vowel. The word 'low' was given but I don't see the W as a vowel in that instance. To paraphrase you; it 'brings the lips together' which generates a 'consonantal closure'. Hence, W is a consonant.

Ah, a cwm is a high mountain lake and a crwth is an ancient musical instrument, although these are the only examples I can find where W is used as a vowel where it is not paired up with another vowel, other than in proper nouns such as surnames -- Cadwr, for instance.

Welsh seems to be responsible for this, mainly.

>dubyou ain't no
Consider the -aw in jaw; it's a vowel "sound", nothing else in English approximates it, not even -ah.
Now consider classic (Attic) Greek. The -aw in jaw as a dipthong best approximates the singular long vowel sound in omega (big o) which is itself inscribed as a fanciful 'dubyou'. Literally omega is pronounced aw-mega- no other combination of Roman letters is able to render justice to this classic VOWEL to an English-speaking hearer.
So whereas W is NOT a vowel (I'll give that) it does quite obviously function as one on occasion- there can be no two ways. Dare persist in wrongness? I'm giving arguments but getting shit responses here, senpai.
