long vowel .
The "long vowel" is not exactly the same as the "modal" of Bur-Myan.
Always keep in mind the Two-three tone problem.

:
-- fricative thibilant, {þ} = <th> - Latin small
letter thorn, IPA /θ/ in Burmese and English,
IPA /s/ in Sanskrit and other European languages. Pali
speakers in Myanmar speak with /θ/ sound,
but those in Thailand and SriLanka speak with /s/
sound. My position is, since Gautama Buddha was
preaching to people in Tibeto-Burman speaking areas, he
would be speaking with /θ/ sound.

{a}/{aa} - by UKT
UKT: In Bur-Myan, but not necessarily in Pal-Myan, it is mostly the "short vowels" that are checked. So, we rely on the difference between "checked-free" instead of "short-long".
Bur-Myan is non-rhotic, however to take on the rhotic sounds of Skt-Dev
we have to add a rhotic vowel to the first pair of similar vowels:
{a.} / अ a (a) /
{aR.}
The {R} here is not a consonant: it is known as repha रेप representing a burring
guttural sound. The Bur-Myan
{a.} vowel represents the short vowel and can form a disyllabic word such as
{a.ka.} 'the dance'. From this we can get a monosyllabic word after killing the
inherent vowel of {ka.}:
{ak} 'crack'.
By adding repha, we can add the rhotic sound: {aRk}.
