| <nowiki>*</nowiki> These vowels are called "long vowels" and are pronounced this way when before one consonant, another vowel, or at the end of a word. These vowels are actually elongated when doubled or when there's an acute accent on the letter (which also makes that vowel's syllable stressed).
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>**</nowiki> These vowels are called "short vowels" and are pronounced this way when before two or more consonants, which included digraphs.
| |
| | |
