Notes: hmmph...here I made big deal out of the five vowels, a e i o u, thinking those are the primary sounds we make without using our tongues or lips or teeth...a curio is the Greeks had seven, which they linked to the seven notes of the musical scale; the seven planets seen with naked eye; and more-Pythagorians again...but no, digraphs of double vowels look to be vowel like contraptions...Spanish is clear cut, every letter is sounded out...no silent letters...or some such...oh, this is a struggle to picture digraphs, explain them-I don't understand them...I thought to look up double constinents, but pursued just oo...one take has it digraphs are relics of the origin of a word...they are one thing that make me think single syllable words are from compounds...if I mess around and list similar single syllable words some of them group with a kinda common sense...put myself on the spot here...soak coat moat float goat...welp, there are long and short vowels and the digraphs of vowels, same doubled, spoon, cook, or twos, reach beach teach, look to make long vowels...can a single vowel be long in one word, short in another?...to...that's long, wait, short?...do re me fa so la te do...lol...ha ha...on to phonemes, with sometime return to digraphs!
Aloha,
