Is thrown a short vowel word?

No, "thrown" is not a short vowel word. It has a long vowel sound, like the "o" in "tone."

Here's why:

* The "o" in "thrown" is followed by a consonant ("w") and a silent "e." This pattern typically indicates a long vowel sound.

* The "e" at the end of the word is a silent "e" which serves to make the preceding vowel long.

Therefore, "thrown" is not a short vowel word.
