Comments:

Vowel length may be largely predictable.
Garbell describes a contrast between 'flat' and 'plain'
words and syllables. In 'flat' items all consonants are,
inter alia, pharyngealized. This has been interpreted as
a vowel-harmony type of process with pharyngealization as
a contrastive property of vowels.
