Sorry, but the rules for English pronunciation that I learned are that a

vowel makes a long sound when followed, either immediately or one letter
later, by another vowel. Otherwise it's a short sound. Like in
"otherwise".  Ostritch, oscillate, and others follow the same pattern.

Sorry, but the rules for English pronunciation that I learned are such that "ghoti" is pronunced /fɪʃ/ ;-)
