VOWEL SOUNDS & HOW THEY COMBINE:
There are only 2 vowels sounds in 'Ya-Ha-WaD-Yaw-THa'(The LaSHaWaN QwaDawSH). In fact every letter has a vowel sound. All letters, except for the 16th letter('EE'), possess the vowel sound 'Ah' at the end of them.

The 2nd vowel sound is 'EE', as in bEE.The only letter possessing this vowel sound ('EE') is the letter 'EE' itself(The 16th letter of the Paleo alphabet that looks like the number Zero). And'EE' has no consonant sound, therefore it is simply pronounced as 'EE'.

THE SYNTHETIC 3RD VOWEL SOUND:
There is a 3rd, synthetic(artificially produced) vowel sound. It is pronounced 'Eye'. It only occurs when a letter with an 'Ah' sound is immediately followed by the letter 'EE'(The EE sound). This sound can NEVER occur at the beginning of a word, because if the sounds combined are reversed, they do not produce the 'EYE'('Ah-EE') sound.
