Those Ys *are* vowels, but if you insist otherwise:

crypts
glyphs
lymphs
nymphs
sylphs
trysts

....all plurals of five-letter "avocalic" words...there's also "rhythm" (whose
plural is an honest-to-Webster *seven*-letter word with no vowels)...another
five-letter word with Y as its only vowel is the adjective "thymy", descriptive
of chicken prepared in a certain way, and inspiration for Rolf Harris's biggest
hit....r
