Do you mean without a vowel? It's normally spelled sì, isn't it? It definitely contains a vowel sound, at least it sounds like a vowel to me.

I just read up on it, and there does seem to be a vowel in it. I may have been misled by listening to Mandarin spoken by speakers of other kinds of Chinese. Yes, pinyin should've been si.

[Undid the missled verb.]
