Answer 1

It is a "short" vowel sound.

A short vowel word is the word that does not enable the vowel inside it to produce that vowel's long vowel sound. For example, the word hut is a short vowel word, on the grounds that there is no long U sound. At the point when there is one vowel in a word, either toward the start or between two consonants, it for the most part has the short vowel sound.
