 ===Vowels===
+'''Eḥeiθymme''' has four short vowels and four long vowels, a distinction manifested as the long vowels' sound being held twice as long as short vowels' sound.
+The short vowels are following: '''i''', '''e''', '''a''', '''u'''. These have the following values:
+* '''a''' = [a]<br />
+* '''e''' = [ɛ]<br />
+* '''i''' = [i]<br />
+* '''u''' = [u]
+The long vowels are following: '''ī''', '''ē''', '''ā''', '''ū'''. These have the following values:
+* '''ī''' = [i:]<br />
+* '''ē''' = [ɛ:] ~ [e]<br />
+* '''ā''' = [a:]<br />
+* '''ū''' = [u:]
+Note that, when spoken, there is some variation in the actual pronunciation of /ɛ:/, and may be more accurately pronounced as [e:].
