This is definitely OT, but the Egyptians used to omit vowels from words,
perhaps because they thought vowels were breath.
The vowels happen to be... yi ah o ou w e h
In French, a e I o u - the order is scrambled --> I a o u e
Yahweh.
Interesting, no?

You're sure ?
How about 'd*mn' or 'm*cr*s*ft' ?
No vowels there. :-)
(there are other words, but they are unprintable on a nice,
friendly,
family-orientated list like this one.)
OK, sorry about that. Going back to work.
Greetings,
