    hmm this is really interesting...and Rannie the m you was thinking of is Morae /Moras .


    Japanese is a language famous for its moraic qualities. Most dialects, including the standard, use moras (in Japanese, haku (拍) or mōra (モーラ)) rather than syllables as the basis of the sound system. Writing Japanese in kana (hiragana and katakana) demonstrates the moraic system of writing; for example, the word Tomato is written in three letters ト マ ト which correspond to to/ma/to.
    For example, haiku in modern Japanese do not follow the pattern 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables, as commonly believed, but rather the pattern 5 moras/7 moras/5 moras.
    As one example, the Japanese syllable-final n is moraic, as is the first part of a geminate consonant. For example, the word Nippon (one of the pronunciations of 日本, the name for "Japan" in Japanese) has either four moras (ni-p-po-n), each of the four characters used in the hiragana spelling, にっぽん or three moras (ni-ho-n) にほん.
    Thus, in Japanese, the words Tōkyō (to-u-kyo-u とうきょう), Ōsaka (o-o-sa-ka おおさか), and Nagasaki (na-ga-sa-ki ながさき) all have four moras, even though they have two, three, and four syllables, respectively.

    Thanks for info! I wouldn't have noticed the contest since I usually use the English Lodestone...
    Anyway, there are so many nice Haiku(s?). x_x Mine is just too bland, oh well.
