The terms "long" and "short" have nothing to do with the number of vowels, or the number of letters in a word. The long and short refer to the sound of the vowels. Originally it referred to passage of time, where a "short" vowel would take less time to express than a "long" vowel. But long and short are just very simple terms for some basic vowel sounds, and there are vowel sounds that are neither short or long. In English, the long vowel sounds are those that "say the name" of the vowel : A (ay), E (ee), I (eye), O (oh) and U (yoo, but can also be a long oo sound). The short vowels have a truncated sound : ah, eh, ih, aah, and uh.
