Numerals
Numerals unless otherwise specified are in bijective seximal, alternating between consonant and vowel segments.
| Vowel segment | Consonant segment | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | a | tr |
| 2 | e | dr |
| 3 | o | pr |
| 4 | i | br |
| 5 | u | pl |
| 6 | y | bl |
The spacer an or am separates a consonant numeral segment from a preceding consonant that is not part of the numeral.
Pythagorean ordinals
Pythagorean ordinals use the consonant roots d, r, m, f, s, l, t. Consonant-final numerals are added for additional octaves (although a lone -az- is sufficient to indicate a single added octave), and the final vowel segment indicates the quality, which is notated with -a for minor/perfect (unison, fourth) and -e for major/perfect (fifth).
| Interval | Name |
|---|---|
| P1 | da |
| m2 | ra |
| M2 | re |
| m3 | ma |
| M3 | me |
| P4 | fa |
| P5 | se |
| M7 | te |
| P8 | dantra |
For additional accidentals, they progress -a, -o, -u for flatter intervals, and -e, -i, -y for sharper intervals. The y vowel is pronounced like /y~ɨ/. So a diminished 7th is to. The consonants indicating additional sharps or flats (in groups of 3) are not the clusters from the Numeral section but -n, -g, -v, -th, -sh, -k, with -h- acting as a spacer to separate the possible initial vowel of a consonant-final numeral from the vowel indicating the direction being altered by. So, a 111-diminished compound fifth would be sazuhyk, with -yk- being the encoding of 36 groups of 3 (56bjsex), -u- being 3 additional steps and the indication that the direction is diminishing, -az- being +1 octave, and -s- being the 5th degree.
