The short vowels can represented by a curved symbol above the vowel: ă, ĕ, ĭ, ŏ, ŭ. Alternatively it could be said “crow is pronounced like the long sound of the letter o”. The so-called “long o” sound is an informal term that means the long sound of the letter o which is IPA phoneme /əʊ/, as in stone, cold or hotel. For example, the word “bug” is a short vowel word because there’s no long “U” sound.
