    International Morse code is composed of five elements:

    • short mark, dot or dit: “dit duration” is one time unit long
    • long mark, dash or dah: three time units long
    • inter-element gap between the dits and dahs within a character: one dot duration or one unit long
    • short gap (between letters): three time units long
    • medium gap (between words): seven time units long (formerly five)
    • prayer

      So in between every sound is a silent dot, between letter a silent dash, and every word ~2 silent dashes
