Line 12:

===Long vowels===

The first principle is to not use English [[alphaphonemic pronunciation|alphaphonemic pronunciations]], as if you were reading the English alphabet. In the words below, the vowel letters are pronounced as in the English alphabet, but this is not a system found in any other language:

* ''A:'' ''m'''a'''ke'', '''''a'''ngel''

* ''E'' or ''EE:'' ''m'''ee'''t, del'''e'''te''

* ''I:'' ''r'''i'''ce''

* ''O:'' ''n'''o'''te''

* ''U:'' '''''u'''se''

The English digraphs ''ee, oo, au, ei, ai, ou, ie, eu,'' etc. are not used.
