dimoraic

adj

1. (not-comparable, uncommon)Having two morae.

   “This is amply demonstrated through the application of tone rules such as Final High Tone Retraction, which deletes a high tone on the final vowel of a word and reassociates it with the second mora of a dimoraic (long) penultimate syllable.”

   “The analyses indicate that MHE vowel durations correspond to NE durations for the dimoraic (long) vowels, but correspond to the Spanish‐accented vowels of L2E for the monomoraic (short) vowels.”

   “The root is then associated with an H, regardless of its original tonal specification, and this H is realized as a high tone over monomoraic syllables and as a falling tone over dimoraic syllables.”
