How it is written
The อ in the form above is a placeholder for whichever consonant the vowel attaches to, not part of the vowel itself.
This one sits on, under or after its consonant.
Why the length matters
A long vowel makes an open syllable live, and live or dead is one of the three things that decide a syllable's tone.
