How many vowels are there in short vowel words?
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.

Are vowel sounds the same as vowels?
No. Every vowel can have more than one sound, depending on the spelling of the word and its historical source. For example, the letter E can have a long sound (ee), a short sound (eh), an R-influenced sound (ir), and a schwa sound (unstressed eh or uh). Or it can be silent, which may influence the sound of other vowels. Similarly, more than one vowel or vowel group can have the identical sound. The long A (ay) sound can be made in: A words - base, cake, late AY words - lay, may, pay AI words - fail, maid, plain EI words - veil EIGH words - weigh, weight, neighbor (and the related "air" sound by EA as well)
