The I has a long I sound as in high, sigh, and sign. The GH is silent, so it is not a consonant blend.
There is no silent consonant. In fact, the combination 'gh' in this case has a sound similar to the letter 'f'. However, the same combination can have different sounds in different words, like ghetto, or night and though - where it is not pronounced at all.
Weight is pronounced "Way-t," so no. The "gh" in the word only stresses the "ei" into an "ay" sound and not an "ee" sound.
4 letter words ending in gh are high and sigh.
Perhaps it has been spelt, rightly or wrongly, according to the pattern of light, night, right etc, which probably did have an extra sound (phoneme) in them. This phoneme has now disappeared from the pronunciation of these words but it originally represented a consonant similar to ch [as in loch]. Delight probably has a quite different etymology to the other gh words.
The words that have only an I include GH words (high, sigh, and thigh) and GN words (align, sign). Words ending in -IGHT have a long I sound : bright, fight, fright, light, might, right, sight, tight. There are many words that have an I and a silent E, such as bite, ride, and nine.
