Themsaran has a six-vowel system with a quantity distinction, that is symmetrical to a fault. Short vowels have one mora (except for epenthetic ''i/y'' which has zero morae), and long vowels have two morae. Short vowels in open syllables were pronounced approximately 1.5 times as long as short vowels in closed syllables; long vowels in closed syllables, 2.5 times as long; open long vowels, thrice as long.
