Do you mean the objects the words represent or the words (letters) themselves?

y is known to be counter-changeable between a vowel and constanant.

Easy on the French! <sarcasm>You could just as easily say global-hegemonic door, global-hegemonic fry, global-hegemonic horn, global-hegemonic pastry,global-hegemonic toast, and global-hegemonic window and all in one breath (if you have the speed and lung capacity).</sarcasm>

When I was taught English in the dark ages, there were 5 vowels and 21 constants.
Y was a constant (even though in some cases it 'acted' as a vowel).

You sound the horn as your car is sliding through somebody's house window, and you take out the cupard full of pastries. You go through the wall into the next room where you go sliding door-first into a fireplace where you toast the car and fry like an egg.
The world is waiting. I must leave you now.
There is no doubting the nature of "Y" here, it is a vowel, the vowels in Danish are A, E, I, O, U, Y, Æ, Ø and Å. The other letters are consonants except W which does not appear in the Danish alphabet and C is a little dubious. My wife and I spent some time discussing it, and although school children are taught the alphabet with C, we do not believe that has always been the case.

Door -> Window
Fry -> toast
Horn -> pastry (for a moment i thought i was onto something)
We have a type of pastry which translated would be a "Cream Horn"...
