Vowels are said to be "long" vowels when you can hear the name of the vowel, such as the A in made, the E in below, the I in high, the O in bone, and the U in unit.
The sound OO also has long and short versions, the short being the OO sound in bull or good, and the long being the OO sounds in moon and tuna. Some vowel guides include these as long and short U, respectively, because many U words have them.
