In the traditional analysis of maior, why does the first syllable count long even without a printed macron?
A
A is long by nature in every comparative adjective.
B
The letters i and o form a consonant cluster after a.
C
The first syllable is short because one written consonant follows.
D
The following i is consonantal, and the transitional glide gives the preceding syllable long quantity.
