Summary/Abstract: This article defends the (at least potential) presence of long r and long l in the system of Czech phonemes; these phonemes can emerge through the lengthening of the phones in some derivational processes. The article then shows that the vowel can also be lengthened in some derivational processes in roots whose representation employs the grapheme ě.
