      A "long" sound of the vowel is when you hear the "name" of it in the word.  In the list you gave, I only hear "O" in BOLD.   
      For "A":    SAME
      For "E"     EGO
      For "I"       Icon
      For "U"     Use

        But none of these words, (including bold which has the long-vowel symbol above the o) sound like long o as in no. For dog- the dictionary has an upside-down u above the o. But what does that mean- long or short?

        fishel1111 Bold and No have the same vowel sound. Elongate the O as you say each word.

              All depends on the English language spoken.

                Bold has a long vowel sound, the rest are short.
