The moraic structure of classical Tibetan
Although Tibeto-Burman has been reconstructed with a phonemic quantity distinction between vowels, e.g., TB *gar `leave, abandon' and *gar `dance, leap, stride' (Benedict 1972 #15 and #11), which probably indicates moraic light and heavy syllables, respectively, the Tibetan writing system...
