| Like Fyxoomian Skellan, Eetøøm Skellan used a version of the Scottish vowel length rule:
| | Eetøøm vowels are uniform in length. |
| | |
| * /ɨ 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/.
| |
| ** In open syllables.
| |
| ** Before another vowel.
| |
| ** Before a morpheme boundary.
