Explanation
- In English phonetics, a vowel is generally longer before a voiced consonant such as /b/, /d/, /ɡ/, /v/, or /z/.
- This is called pre-fortis clipping in reverse: vowels are typically longer before voiced consonants and shorter before voiceless consonants.
- For example, the vowel in bad is generally longer than the vowel in bat.
