syllabic
Divided by beats
Syllabic relates to syllables—the rhythmic units that make up words.
In poetry, syllabic verse counts syllables per line rather than stresses: haiku is a syllabic form.
In linguistics, a syllabic consonant carries the weight of a syllable on its own, like the final sounds in "bottle" or "button." Syllabic writing systems use characters representing whole syllables rather than individual sounds.
