Mesodic- refers to "ode" so they must not be the same. In Greek drama, (I hope I get this right- this thread always makes me nervous) when the chorus moves during the first part of its ode- the strophe- there is then an independent little part - the mesode--which I guess means mid ode?- and then they chant the antistrophe moving back and then they stand there and do something else.

I'll go look in my diction books for mesotic.

I looked in google.com, encyclopedia.com, and altavista.com, as well as my OED. "Mesodic" is a word, having to do with "mesodes," something in ancient Greek choral composition. "Mesotic" turned up on alta vista, with reference to John Cage, but it looks like it's a mis-spelling of "mesodic."

I don't know what the proper term for what you describe is, the one I would use is "phoneme."
