[1913 Webster]
If we compare the nearest conventional shorts and
longs in English, as in
“bit” and
“beat,”
“not” and
“naught,” we find that the short
vowels are generally wide, the long narrow, besides
being generally diphthongic as well. Hence,
originally short vowels can be lengthened and yet
kept quite distinct from the original longs. --H.
Sweet.
