Value of a CVCV.com where the vowel is Y

j0hnyl · 11-23-2010, 12:39 PM

What are these going for on the reseller market these days? Both the consonants are premium.

Appreciate your input!

They are averaging between $200-$300.

I've auctioned quite a couple of them and some pretty good ones ended in the $1xx area, for example Pysi.com
Some hit mid $xxx tho.

That's quite an endless discussion, but in several words it is used as a vowel. Vyper, Gym, Mystic etc.

Thanks for your thoughts guys!

coreyg - I think in my day to day life I wouldn't always consider Y a vowel, but in the context of short domains it almost always seems to be regarded as one, because it makes names pronounceable instead of just an acronym

How would you pronounce words like "Why", "sky" or "fly" without any vowels?

whenever or wherever a `y` is present that needs to be phonetically
pronounced as an `i `

Another way to look at it is if the homophone version either naturally
occurring or not spelt with an `i` could also be spelt with a `y` instead
and would have in turn the same phonetic pronunciation.

examples:

'gym'→ 'gim'
'typical'→ 'tipical'
'mystery'→'mistery'
'lym'→'lim'

.

I think the correct answer should be y can be vowel sometimes, since y sometimes does not act as a vowel such as in yes, yellow.

godeny · 12-09-2010, 04:53 AM

agree with chace, Y have both function as a vowel and consonant

When I created the CVCV button on my website, I spend a few hours researching and deciding what a CVCV is because of this Y issue. Then I came up with this definition:

CVCV = CVCV + CVCY - CVYY

In other words if the last letter is a Y it counts as a vowel, provided that the consonant before the Y is not a Y too. However the first vowel can't be a Y.

My programmer converted this beautifully into code:

'cvcv' =>'^['.$c.']['.$v.'](['.$c.']['.$v.']|['.$c_no_y.']y)$',

and that's what we have always used on our site. This way words like sony, pony, tony are covered by our CVCV definition.

huge range from $1xx to $xxxxx

things like cyto will be a big value

usa666 · 02-07-2011, 02:25 PM

CVCV such as CVCY can be solid IMHO. CYCV not so much in the typical case.

cache · 02-08-2011, 07:06 PM

why can't you have cycv or cycy?

byte, gyro, hyper, nyse, wyse, syfy, tyco, cyber

KingDon · 02-08-2011, 08:32 PM

CYCV not much - CVCY depends on how repeatable and pronounceable it is. If it sounds good and looks good, it can do just as well as any good CVCV.
