Thanxs for the info!
Does the word having a long vowel on an open-accented syllable have anything to do with the syllable is the last syllable? To ask the question another way, if you have an open-accented syllable which has a syllable after it, must it have a short vowel?
Thanxs for the two examples of "the cities" and "the mountains" - I will have to review what happens when the guttural rejects the dagesh (which is what is happening in both your examples).
