That's basically true, but it's considered good form to put a horizontal
bar, or macron, over long vowels such as the "a" in "Maori" (but not the
"a" in "Steinlager"). Unicode already caters for this, so Andrey's
intervention is not really needed for Plan 9, but to cater for
Unicode-challenged applications on the dark side, people have created
special fonts by hi-jacking the vowels with umlauts.
