I do have Arabic tawil (tall) and tliwa (short), but I think we need a separate word there. There's Mandarin dwan (short) which could reverse to dnaw, but I'm inclined not to allow a dn initial, especially for such a common word. I could use kor for short and kro for long. If nobody has any better ideas, I will.
