The reason long vowels (with an acute diacritic) are not long at the beginning of words is that historically there was a /h/ there. However, over time the /h/ sound completely dissapeared from the language. For etymological reasons, the following vowel is replaced with the long version of it, despite it being pronounced short. Look at 'ístoria' and 'ónor', for example.

==='Be'===
As in most Indo-European languages, the word 'be' exists in Telnan. It is 've'.
The past tense form of 've', however, is '-er' which goes on the end of the word.
