Answer: I am not quite sure what is "mora" ? Is it
mean 'delay'? What I want say is finding a new unit
that can sparate sound roughly equal in time, then we
can understand many things. No matter how many
syllables English has, a tone language speaker always
can give at least four times the same numerous
syllables by put a tone on every first CV of those
syllables. And to create so many either syllables or
'phonetic types' is not our goal. The real target is
as the words being shorten, we may increase thinking
speed and 'learn less know more'.
