Alcvean Skellan uses the Scottish vowel length rule:
* /ə/, /ɛ/, /œ/, /a/, /ɔ/ are usually short.
* /i/, /y/, /e/, /o/, /u/, /ø/ are usually long in the following environments and short elsewhere:
** In stressed syllables before voiced fricatives /v, ð, z, ʒ/, and also before /r/.
** Before another vowel.
** Before a morpheme boundary..
