The long vowel is the i. the e in white is silent MOST but NOT all words with that silent e ending make the vowel before it, long. An exception (of quite a number), is the word EPITOME, where all the vowels are short AND the the e is pronounced as a long e, as in EEL. These are the joyfully confusing twists and turns of the english language.. A short i is found in the word DIG Another long i word is RIDE, again with a silent e
