For example, you could be thinking of:
* Short vowels: These are the sounds you hear in words like "cat," "bed," "dog," "hop," and "cut."
* Short diphthongs: These are sounds like the "oi" in "coin" or the "ou" in "out."
* Short consonants: These are sounds like the "p" in "pat" or the "t" in "top."
To get a more specific answer, tell me:
* What kind of short sound are you interested in? (Short vowels, short diphthongs, short consonants?)
* Are you looking for words in a specific language? (English, Spanish, etc.)
With more information, I can give you a more helpful answer!
