Noun

1. {{lb|en|linguistics}} The vowel sound /iː/ in the words "green", "seem", "eve", and "eke". {{n-g|(The presence of a long vowel is often signaled in spelling by a [[silent e|silent ''e'']] that follows it, as in the "eve" and "eke" examples here, or by the fact that a [[subsequent]] [[consonant]] is single rather than doubled, as for example in {{m|en|meting}} versus {{m|en|setting}}).}}
