Mora
A phonological term: the unit of sound which determines syllable weight in some languages. Some syllabaries have characteristics which reflect moraic structure more or less exactly. In particular, the Japanese kana syllabaries actually write one character per mora, rather than one character per syllable. The Vai syllabary also counts final nasals as distinct moras, and writes moras instead of syllables.
