In some languages, front (bright) and back (dark) vowels cannot be mixed within the same word. This is called vowel harmony.
Although this concept is only partly realised in Finnish, it may yield impressive results, as in today's Word of the Day:
päämääränään
That is as their goal.
I found this one in the translation of The Lord of the Rings, shortly before Helm's Deep.
