What sound do you associate with the "y" in "shy"?

For that matter, what sound do you associate with the "y" in "myth" or "hymn"?

The only word that I know of (American Heritage Dictionary now recognizes it) without a written vowel is "nth". Don't forget, Anon, that y sometimes serves as a vowel, not just a demi-vowel.
