«'''When a long vowel is found in an open syllable, it is written once, whereas if it is found in a closed syllable, it is written twice.'''»

That is to say that short vowels are never found in open syllables, but only in closed ones. In both these cases (short vowel in closed syllable and long vowel in open syllable) the vowels are written once. When a long vowel occurs in a closed syllable, then it is written twice,ex.:

Aarlaansk has got two digraphs, that are ''ch'', that is read [χ], and ''ck'', that is read [k] and represents the double k. There is only a trigraph, ''sch'' that is read [ʃ].
Aarlaansk has got two digraphs, that are ''ch'', that is read [χ], and ''ck'', that is read [k] and represents the double k. There is only a trigraph, ''sch'' that is read [ʃ]. Actually natives tend to replace ''ch'' with ''g'', that has the same pronunciation. This isn't considered like a mistake in informal writing: it is quite spread the form ''vagt'' of the verb ''vaar'' instead of the most regular ''vacht''. It is to be avoided in formal writing though.
