How could someone understand incoming Morse code ?

Even if the receiver knows every sequence code for letters and symbols by head, how does he know where one letter starts and ends and how does he prevent overlap of 2 letter codes getting mixed up ?

Answer 1

Because Morse code is not a two symbol encoding system, It’s 4.

There’s short pause (dot), long pause (dash), longer pause (new character), even longer pause (new word).
