'''Eḥeiθymme''' has four short vowels and four long vowels, a distinction manifested as the long vowels' sound being held twice as long as short vowels' sound. | |||
The short vowels are following: '''i''', '''e''', '''a''', '''u'''. These have the following values: | |||
* '''a''' = [a]<br /> | |||
* '''e''' = [ɛ]<br /> | |||
* '''i''' = [i]<br /> | |||
* '''u''' = [u] | |||
The long vowels are following: '''ī''', '''ē''', '''ā''', '''ū'''. These have the following values: | |||
* '''ī''' = [i:]<br /> | |||
* '''ē''' = [ɛ:] ~ [e]<br /> | |||
* '''ā''' = [a:]<br /> | |||
* '''ū''' = [u:] | |||
Note that, when spoken, there is some variation in the actual pronunciation of /ɛ:/, and may be more accurately pronounced as [e:]. | |||
