The page for moraic has a list of supposed derivatives that use both Latin and Greek prefixes for multiples up to four, but these have no attestations. Although some of the words with Greek prefixes appear to exist (see the Wikipedia page for "mora"), some others look as though they are just inventions to pad out the list: for example, "quadrimoraic" generates only one Google hit, to a page pronouncing the would-be word. — Paul G (talk) 06:43, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- The term quadrimoraic is used here: [1], [2], [3]; and its synonym tetramoraic is also easily attestable: [4], [5], [6]. Of course there is a (fuzzy) natural limit, but we find pentamoraic here: [7], [8], [9]. --Lambiam 10:49, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- These are easily attestable. Here are a few links for dimoraic (there are many more on Google Books): [10] [11] [12]. In general it's good to do a Google Books search before RFVing. —Granger (talk · contribs) 14:46, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
