3 x U plus five consonants (H not allowed):

JUJUTSUS

How about 3 x Y plus 3 consonants?

**can you name a word for which the plural shares no letters in common with the singular? A hint: the plural referred to here is archaic, although technically correct. **

That would be kine, the plural of cow.

Slightly related: Can you name a pair of homophones (words pronounced the same) that share no letters in common?

That would be EWE and YOU.

“I” shares no letters with “eye”.
“I” also shares no letters with “aye”.

“We” also shares no letters with “oui”.

I, you, we… this is starting to creep me out.
