My memory of old Norse language is rusty, since it's about 15-20 years since I went through that time period in school, but I'd say it's not so much an issue of consonants being considered vowels as there being an assumed vowel interspaced. So 'haldr' for example would be pronounced 'haldir' (random example to show what I mean, not necessarily a 100% correct example). Though yes, Y is considered a vowel, so if you're used to that being a consonant you'd be correct in your statement =)
(Then again, Welsh considers W to be a vowel, so...... *shrugs*)
When is a double 'u' not a vowel?
