In length, or duration, one dash is theoretically equal to three dots; the space between the elements of a letter is equal to one dot; the interval in spaced letters, as O . ., is equal to three dots. There are no spaces in any letter composed wholly or in part of dashes. Alphabet A .- H .... O . . V ... B - . . . I .. P ..... W . C .. . J -.-. Q ..-. X .-.. D -.. K -.- R . .. Y .. .. E .
