Does lemon have a short vowel sound?

No, "lemon" does not have a short vowel sound. It has a long "e" sound.

Here's why:

* The "e" in "lemon" is followed by a consonant ("m") and a silent "n". This creates a long vowel sound.

* Short vowel sounds are typically found in words where the vowel is followed by one or more consonants.

Therefore, the vowel sound in "lemon" is similar to the vowel sound in "bee" or "see".
