Vowel Alternations<br />
Long to <strong>Short</strong> and Long to Schwa<br />
Vowel alternations require a change in the sound <strong>of</strong> the vowel pattern from one related<br />
word to another; but, usually, no change in spelling.<br />
Note: the spelling <strong>of</strong> the base word provides a link to the derived form.<br />
