Just to make sure I have this right:

"Uchyuu Senkan Yamato" has seven syllables (U/chyuu/sen/kan/ya/ma/to)
and ten morae (U/chyu/u/se/n/ka/n/ya/ma/to).

Does this imply that the kana are not true syllabaries but actually
"moraries"?   I mean, the Hiragana transcription of the above
has ten symbols, not seven.
