Thank You @MichaelConrad. I had a question on long and short "vowels." The text says, "Each Cherokee vowel is pronounced “long” or “short”. A long vowel is a vowel held for a normal length of time. A short vowel is a vowel spoken for a very brief length of time. Other than for the amount of time a vowel is spoken, the long and short vowels sound the same. Short vowels will be marked in the pronunciation guide with an “underdot”."

Is the term Vowel being used strictly with the Syllabary Vowels? (Ꭰ,Ꭱ,Ꭲ,Ꭳ,Ꭴ,Ꭵ) or does the term refer to what in English we would refer to as a syllable? So pretty much every character in the Syllabary with the possible exception of Intrusive H and ᏍᏉ

It generally refers to all of the Cherokee vowel lengths no matter where in a word.
