"Indivisibility" cannot be counted, since the "y" MUST be counted as a vowel.

Sometimes, the letter y is a consonant, and other times it is a vowel. The rule for telling the two apart is simple: The letter y is a consonant when it is the first letter of a syllable that has more than one letter. If y is anywhere else in the syllable, it is a vowel.

The last syllable of "indivisibility" is "-ty."
