WHAT DOES MORAE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mora (linguistics)

Mora is a unit in phonology that determines syllable weight, which in some languages determines stress or timing. The definition of a mora varies. Perhaps the most succinct working definition was provided by the American linguist James D. McCawley in 1968: a mora is "something of which a long syllable consists of two and a short syllable consists of one". The term comes from the Latin word for “linger, delay”, which was also used to translate the Greek word chronos in its metrical sense. A syllable containing one mora is said to be monomoraic; a syllable with two morae is said to be bimoraic. Also, in rarer cases, a syllable with three morae is said to be trimoraic.
