Etymology

From di- +‎ moraic.

Adjective

dimoraic (not comparable)

  1. (linguistics, uncommon) Having two morae.
    • 1997, AD Mtenje, “The Phonology and Morphology of Kimatuumbi”, in Anthropological Linguistics, volume 39, number 1, page 170:
      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.
    • 2009, K Konopka, “Vowel duration in Mexican heritage English”, in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, volume 125, page 2757:
      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.
    • 2018, I Monich, “Distribution of falling tones in Mabaan”, in From Sounds to Structures: Beyond the Veil of Maya:
      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.
