    scribeva:
    I'm happy with two, a short and a longish. Much as Latin is pronounced. So: >Alta Gra:cia. Anda:r.

    The effect of dynamic stress? The first a in alta is also stressed,
    but here it is a secondary stress in comparison with that in gr|icia.

    There's also two kinds of e, and vowel length variation for all.
    My wife and family say mu:cho:, like du:ro: but burro:.

    The long rr leaves less for the vowel?

    Burro: but burros.
    Things like that. Ignored or denied by youknowwho anyway. But obvious
    in, eg, Argentina, well, not by everybody but they're there alright.

    But never phonemic, I guess.
