Yes, that's what I meant. The word, syllable, may convey different things in poets of different cultures.

Of course, if we don't use 17 syllables as a part of the definition of haiku, we need to have some other definition or expectations. Does it have to be three lines, for example? What makes what I have just written not a haiku if I want to call it one? That's the problem with definitions, especially of artistic forms -- trying to fit art into a box of words is always limiting, but failing to do so makes it impossible to comminicate about art if we don't have any agreed terms.
