    saluēte!

    Which vowels in the Lapis Satricānus inscription in Archaic Latin are long?

    I suppose

    iei stetērai popliōsiō valesiōsiō suodālēs mamārtei

    Did I miss something?

    I've read that in the archaic dative case ending -iōi the "ō" was long, but in "-iōsiō"?

    In "mārs," "mārtis," "mārtī" the "ā" is long, but if you put prefix before this word - "mamārtei" - the "ā" in the root remains long, or shortens?
