RHY.8:5.2 - Enlarge an ending without moving its endpoint

Use the simple mōrā construction with three equal statements and two gaps. Two already learned statements last three and four pulses respectively; each gap lasts two pulses. In this constructed adaptation, the ending must occupy the time immediately before boundary T = 32. The boundary follows the final statement’s last one-pulse articulation.

With s = 3 and g = 2, the duration is 13 pulses and the start is 19. The statements begin at 19, 24 and 29; the last occupies positions 29–31 and ends at 32.

Replacing each statement with the four-pulse version gives duration 16 and start 16. The statements begin at 16, 22 and 28, with the last occupying 28–31. The same endpoint is retained, but the setup must now release three pulses earlier.

Suppose the setup contains a repeatable three-pulse phrase that can be omitted without losing the agreed cue. Remove one occurrence and use the longer ending. The result is a complete timing construction: changed statements, unchanged gaps, an adjusted setup and the retained endpoint. If that phrase carries a needed cue or cannot be removed, this construction does not yet fit; choose another ending or change the cue arrangement.

The arithmetic follows Nelson’s statement/gap construction, while the numerical case is constructed here. It does not establish cultural appropriateness or the performer’s ability to recite the enlarged ending while maintaining the tāḷa. Those joint requirements remain part of its use.
