long.

This word is one proof that the terms long and short do not properly apply to English vowels. The vowel sound in "girl" is no kind of i, long or short. Long i in "girl" would make guy-yerl, and a short i would make ghih-url. What we have in fact a long vocalic r: Grrl ( or a short e: gel, in BBC English).
