The alef and yod aren’t vowels (and also consonants)?

Vowels in Hebrew are typically represented by nekudot (dots and dashes over and underneath the letters). Alef and Ayin are unvoiced letters, and Yod corresponds to the consonant Y. Ayin is sometimes voiced as “ng” by German Jews. Heh is sometimes voiced and sometimes unvoiced, depending on its position in the word.
