+Accented vowels are often partially lengthened in the following situations:
+* Monophthong vowels in open syllables;
+*Monophthong vowels in word-final syllables;
+*Word-final diphthong vowels.
+There are also true long vowels indicated by doubling the vowel letter of a monophthong (e.g. ''aa'') or the nucleus of a diphthong (e.g. ''aay''). If a word contains a true long vowel, an other accented short vowel in the same word is not lengthened.
