Short-vowel mark (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breve

'short-vowel mark' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for breve that I've seen before include "Long musical note" , "Note equivalent to four minims" , "Note with the time value of eight crotchets" , "Rarely used musical note" , "(In music) long note" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
