What command would you give to list all English-language words that are exactly 5 characters long, have a lower-case vowel ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', or 'y') in the second position, and ends with 's'? The remaining letters could be any character that occurs in English words, including but not limited to upper and lower-case alphabetics, numbers, hyphens, etc.
