Although it does sound like a homework assignment....
Here's something to start with:

nawk -f cvb.awk myTextFile.txt

cvb.awk:
Code:
BEGIN {
  PAT_vowel="(a|e|i|o|u|y)"
  PAT_alpha="[a-z]"
}

tolower($1) ~ ("^" PAT_vowel) && tolower(substr($1, length($1))) ~ PAT_alpha && tolower(substr($1, length($1))) !~ PAT_vowel && $2 > 9999
