This has to do with different orthographic traditions (<a href="/wiki/Denmark%E2%80%93Norway" title="Denmark–Norway">Danish–Norwegian</a> for ⟨ø⟩ and Icelandic for ⟨ö⟩). Originally, both forms were used, depending on the historical form of the word; ⟨ø⟩ was used when the vowel resulted from I-mutation of /o/ while ⟨ö⟩ was used when the vowel resulted from U-mutation of /a/.

The vowel length is determined by the number of consonants that follow the vowel: if there is only one consonant (i.e., CVCV or CVC# syllable structure), the vowel is long; if there are more than one (CVCCV), counting geminates and pre-aspirated stops as CC, the vowel is short.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEÁrnason2011152–3-2">[2]</a> In addition to long monophthongs, Faroese also has diphthongs, which are always long. There are, however, some exceptions to the vowel length rule:<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELockwood20028-3">[3]</a> <ol><li>A vowel is long if it precedes a consonant combination ⟨b, d, g, k, p, s, t⟩ + ⟨j, l, r⟩. Examples include akrar, epli, møblar. The situation is however more complex, as seen below: <ul><li>When the second consonant is ⟨j⟩, as in vekja, vitja, and tysja, the combination is treated as one sound (see below), and thus the vowel is long. However, the vowel before ⟨pj⟩ is short.</li> <li>⟨tl⟩ is not considered to be a consonant cluster, so the vowel preceding it is short.</li></ul></li> <li>In loanwords before ⟨kv⟩, the vowel is optionally long.</li> <li>The genitive suffix ⟨-s⟩ does not affect the vowel length; e.g., báts, skips.</li></ol> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Vowels<a
