Chordonyms (Shasavic: ''Nafchaclap'' /nəfxəkləp/) are a solmization system based on these ratios. | '''Chordonyms''' (Shasavic: ''Nafchaclap'' /nəfxəkləp/) are the system for referring to chords in Shasavistic theory. Chordonyms are formed out of the '''harmononyms''' for each note, in order. Harmononyms are a solmization system based on these ratios. Harmononyms represent movement in different dimensions (excluding 1D due to octave equivalency) to create the names for notes. Harmononyms and their ratios can be explored at the web app [https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/music/chalaxata.php?mode=%E6%A0%BC%E5%AD%90&fund=261.6255653006https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/music/chalaxata.php?mode=%E6%A0%BC%E5%AD%90&fund=261.6255653006 Chalaxata] (UI in Japanese). | ||

Harmononyms can indicate movement in two dimensions simultaneously. For example, [[15/8]] is 3/2 times 5/4, or Chy + Ly, so it is called Chyli. [[11/6]] is 2/3 times 11/4, or Fu + Zy, so it is called Fuzi. | |||

Chord diagrams (Shasavic: ''Nafchalica'' /nəfxəlʲkə/) are a system for representing chords. Pitches are represented by horizontal white lines and steps in different dimensions are represented by different lines. | Chord diagrams (Shasavic: ''Nafchalica'' /nəfxəlʲkə/) are a system for representing chords.

At right is an example of a chord diagram. From bottom to top, the pitches are Ah (root, identified by the triangle pointing at it), Ly (5/4), Chy (3/2), Fuzi (11/6), Scy (9/4), Zy (11/4), and Xcy (27/8). | |||
Chord diagrams do not typically indicate voicing or octave doubling of pitches. | |||
