A short vowel is usually, but not always, followed by a consonant. There are some words that end in a short vowel. There is no general rule for this. The vowel "o" at the end of a word is long. In words that derive from Latin, the vowel "i" at the end is long. The vowel "u" at the end of a word is long, examples being "zebu" and "malibu".
