Vowels can be short or long.
IPA symbols and obvious digraphs, plus umlauts for the umlauted front vowels. The consonants /θ ʃ x χ ŋ ɣ ʀ/ will be written as <th sh kh x ng gh rh>; note especially that the velar and uvular fricatives are not written with their IPA symbols.
Original vowels are i e a o u, and maybe also ə. Umlaut then gets us æ ø y.
Original stress rule was just Polish-style 2nd last syllable. Long consonants exist, but not vowels.
