word without vowels?

["M. Ellen Jay" <mejay@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

Hi,
One of my first graders just brought me the following research request:
We want to know if every word in the whole world has a vowel in it?
My initial reaction was they must, but then I realize I am thinking in
English.  Knowing every rule has an exception somewhere also makes me
hesitate to give the knee jerk reaction.  Any one know of a word that does
not contain a vowel?  Any language would be considered.  I would love to
be able to give him an example if one or more  exists.
