==Vowel Length== | |||
Almost every vowel has a short and a long version, which changes according to whether there is a double consonant cluster immediately following it or not. Any two of the same consonants following a vowel with make it short, with the exceptions of 'a' and 'u'. For example, 'ok' (and) = 'o:k. 'okk', while not a word, would b pronounced 'o̞k'. This does not occur when two different consonants follow a vowel, such as 'ng'. | |||
