I was wondering about the pronounciation of Eloshtan - I notice that
verbbs are negated by doubling the first vowel, and questions are
marked by tripling the first vowel.

Is this actually a three-way distinction according to length
([a],[a.], [a:], or something like that), or is there hiatus between
every vowel ([a], [a'a], [a'a'a'])?
