Amafjk is a [[w:Mora (linguistics)|mora]]-timed language. In the Amafjk system, which includes half-morae, syllables are divided into three sizes: ultralight (half a mora), light (one mora), and heavy (one and a half morae). In addition, a mora can be classified as fixed or movable – the distinction, however, only exists in light morae, as all ultralight or heavy morae are inherently movable. | Amafjk is a [[w:Mora (linguistics)|mora]]-timed language.
