Syllable length was important in the metrical system of OE verse, a
syllable was long if it contained a long vowel or if it ended in two
consonants, such as hand "hand". All other syllables were short.
2. Compound words in which both elements retain their full
meaning, e.g. sæ-weall "see-wall", have a secondary stress on the root
syllable of the second element. There is some dispute about three-syllabled
words with a long first syllable, e.g. bindende "binding", but not everyone
agrees that such words have a pattern like ModE "archangles".
As far as Rhyme is concerned, we can learn almost nothing about it
in OE. Alliteration rather than rhyme is the structural principle of OE
verse. Take, for instance, some lines from Beowulf: “ferdon fōlk-togan
feorran and neahan geond wīd-wēgas wundor sceāwian lāÞes lāstas”…
VOWELS
All OE vowels, including monophthongs and diphthongs, can be
either short or long.
I. MONOPHTHONGS: short & long: a, æ, e, i, o, u, y
II. DIPHTHONGS: long & short ā, æ, ē, ī, ō, ū, ŷ
ā as the first vowel in "aha"
a as the second vowel in "aha" as in "mat"
as in "has" (If you experiment, you will notice the vowel in "has" is
longer than that in "mat")
e as in "bet"
ē as in "hate", or German "see", or better in OE deman "judge"
i as in "pin"
ī as in "seen"
o as in "saw", or German "so", or OE "word"
ō as in "hot"
u as in "pull"
ū as in "cool"
y as in French tu, or as i, with lips in a whistling position, as in "fuel"
ŷ as in German "fullen" in Russian "тюль".
