When are vowels lengthened in writing?

-‬: @Lung'afa
Ekeveere - udder  ekevere - millet or sorghum plantation

-: True Joseph, it should be 'ekeveere' ... then we get amaveere (milk) for cow pulling on the right vowels. WHILE ekevere (millet) you get 'amavere' llivere. ULorogooli interests me always

-: A quick question. Is it only when we have homophones that we tend to lengthen some words to give them a supposed meaning?

- kibusi. Is it kibuusi?
-imbimbu. Is it imbiimbu?

I think because they lack meanings in other circles they are not extended.

That we would still have keveere as kevere in writing. The sentence theme will decide for the reader. Just because in talking the pronunciation does vary.

Hehe.
