A crwth is a bowed musical instrument, and a member of the lire family. It is rectangular, and has two necks. The fingerboard is in the space between the two necks. It usually has four bowed strings, plus two strings that sit off to the side, supposedly to be plucked. The bridge is unusual, as one foot sits on the belly, and the other foot passes through a sound hole, to sit on the back of the instrument. It is traditionally a Welsh instrument, which is why the spelling of the name seems so odd to the ENglish speaker's eye. During mideval times it was played in England, where it was called a crowd. It had mostly passed out of use by the beginning of the 19th century, though there is a renewed interest in it.

Sly lynx fly by my crwth. In many cases, people don't consider "y" a vowel. It is more of a sub-vowel. Crwth is a stringed musical instrument. The word comes from Welsh, in which "w" is considered a vowel (it makes an "oo" sound). However, it is one of the the few Welsh words with "w" as the only vowel that has made it into the Modern English language (along with crwths, cwm, and cwms). Hope this helps!

The Welsh word crwth, borrowed directly without Anglicised spelling, sometimes appears in English dictionaries. In proper English, w is a vowel only when combined with another vowel, as a diphthong such as how or in words like yawn.
