[gothic-l] What kinda a was used?

[Fredrik]

I'd like to know if someone knows what kinda a that was used. It would
help me a lot with my pronunciation, eventhough I mostly read silent
and alone.

In lack of knowledge I often use a inspiration from swedish.
That is, a long 'a' is pronounced "closed" as in english father.
And short 'a' is pronounced "open", almost as u in english cup.

I also thought about a long open a as in german jahr, but it sounds
too german.
