An interesting fact about 5 letter words ending in W!

In all words that end in “W”, a vowel comes before the last letter and never a consonant. This is despite “W” being regarded as a semivowel in English. Also, more often than not, the last “w” isn’t really pronounced (depending on which side of the Atlantic you are, of course). All you would hear when people use a word like “throw” is the vowel “o” as the final sound.
