'''{{tp|wuwojiti}}''' is a {{w|mnemonic}} word for the disallowed syllables in [[Toki Pona]] phonotactics: {{tp|*wu}}, {{tp|*wo}}, {{tp|*ji}}, {{tp|*ti}}, and their equivalents with coda nasal. Some uncommon {{tp|[[nimi sin]]}} flout this rule, often as a joke. The word is also uncommonly extended as {{tp|wuwojitinmanna}} to showcase the "no adjacent nasals" rule. |

==Morae== |

The moraic analysis is an alternative phonological analysis in which the basic unit of timing is the {{w|mora}} as opposed to syllables. A mora in Toki Pona, similar to {{w|Latin phonology|Latin}} or {{w|On (Japanese prosody)|Japanese}}, may either be a: |
|||
* single vowel (V) |
|||
* consonant–vowel pair (CV) |
|||
* coda {{tp|n}} (N) |
