I am still kind of shooting in the dark.

I wanted to try your example and it doesn't seem to work.
This is the latest version of changes I have made so the entire
program looks like this:

newex='Hey buddy get away from my car'
newex = newex.split()
sentence=""

print (newex)
wait = input ("          Wait")

def pigword(test):
    for x in range(len(test)):
        if test[x] in "AEIOUYyaeiou":
            stem = test [x:]
            prefix = test [:x]
            pigword = stem + prefix + "ay"
            print ("Stem ",stem)
            print ("Prefix",prefix)
            print (pigword)
            break
    return (pigword)

for x in range(len(newex)):
    sentence = sentence + pigword(newex[x])+ " "
    print (sentence)
    wait = input ("          Wait")

Trying to use your example
>def pigword(word):

BTW I added "AEIOUYyaeiou" y as a vowel.

I tried changing:
for x in range(len(test)):
to
for x in enumerate(test):

That causes an error to popup in a different place.  I don't
understand why.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Functions\piglatin.py", line 26, in <module>
    sentence = sentence + pigword(newex[x])+ " "
  File "C:\Functions\piglatin.py", line 15, in pigword
    if test[x] in "AEIOUYyaeiou":
TypeError: string indices must be integers

Since you included:
>for word in list_of_words:
>    sentence = sentence + pigword(word) + " "
I take it you anticipated a fault here.  I don't understand why.
