Each interval "shortname" I've devised has exactly two simple syllables of two letters to facilitate its easy &amp; speedy utterance. I have taken a set of common names for th intervals already in existence &amp; used them as a jumping-off point. You'll notice I've done away with th words //subminor, supermajor, diminished, &amp; augmented// in favor of th more consistent //lesser &amp; greater//. In a system with more notes, those types of distinctions could prove important, but I believe it gets in th way here, so I've simplified.
== Overview ==
Some explanation: Here I have tried to create a logical, internally consistent way to refer to the various [[interval]]s of the microtonal division of the [[octave]] into 31 steps (as opposed to the more common [[12edo|12 steps]]), 31-tone equal temperament, or 31tET.


Below I have listed th two-letter particle words. In each case, at least one prominent letter (often two) of th original word you will find in its particle. You'll notice that I've changed some vowels from th original words. I did this to ensure that th particles sound distinct from one another. I have made sure that all five vowels appear in th suffixes &amp; prefixes. You'll also notice that I've reversed th order of letters from some of th original words. I did this to put each particle in //consonant-vowel// form, to allow it to function cooperatively with th other particles to aid pronunciation.

**le-** :: **le**sser.
**mi-** :: **mi**nor.
**nu-** :: **n**e**u**tral.
**ja-** :: m**aj**or. Note letter reversal. You could pronounce it //jah// or //jay//, altho I prefer th former.
**go-** :: **g**reater. I changed th vowel for variety.
**pr-** :: **p**e**r**fect. Pronounce it like //per//.


suffixes.
=== Prefixes ===
**-su** :: **u**ni**s**on. Note letter reversal.
'''le-''' :: '''le'''sser.
**-to** :: **to**ne, as in //second//.
**-di** :: th**i**r**d**. Note letter reversal.
**-fo** :: **fo**urth.
**-tr** :: **tr**itone. Altho it's three letters, **tri** also works very well, &amp; may sound better to you.
**-fi** :: **fi**fth. Pronounce like //fee//.
**-xa** :: si**x**th. I changed th vowel for variety.
**-vu** :: se**v**enth. I changed th vowel for variety.
**-co** :: **oc**tave. Note letter reversal.</pre></div>

&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;31&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;1200&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;perfect octave&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;prco&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;


&lt;br /&gt;
'''nu-''' :: '''n'''e'''u'''tral.
Some explanation: Here I have tried to create a logical, internally consistent way to refer to th various intervals of th microtonal division of th octave into 31 steps (as opposed to th more common 12 steps), 31-tone equal temperament, or 31tET.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;br /&gt;
'''ja-''' :: m'''aj'''or. Note letter reversal. You could pronounce it ''jah'' or ''jay'', although I prefer the former.
Each interval &amp;quot;shortname&amp;quot; I've devised has exactly two simple syllables of two letters to facilitate its easy &amp;amp; speedy utterance. I have taken a set of common names for th intervals already in existence &amp;amp; used them as a jumping-off point. You'll notice I've done away with th words &lt;em&gt;subminor, supermajor, diminished, &amp;amp; augmented&lt;/em&gt; in favor of th more consistent &lt;em&gt;lesser &amp;amp; greater&lt;/em&gt;. In a system with more notes, those types of distinctions could prove important, but I believe it gets in th way here, so I've simplified.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;br /&gt;
'''go-''' :: '''g'''reater. I changed the vowel for variety.
Below I have listed th two-letter particle words. In each case, at least one prominent letter (often two) of th original word you will find in its particle. You'll notice that I've changed some vowels from th original words. I did this to ensure that th particles sound distinct from one another. I have made sure that all five vowels appear in th suffixes &amp;amp; prefixes. You'll also notice that I've reversed th order of letters from some of th original words. I did this to put each particle in &lt;em&gt;consonant-vowel&lt;/em&gt; form, to allow it to function cooperatively with th other particles to aid pronunciation.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;br /&gt;
'''pr-''' :: '''p'''e'''r'''fect. Pronounce it like ''per''.
prefixes.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;strong&gt;le-&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;le&lt;/strong&gt;sser.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Suffixes ===

'''-su''' :: '''u'''ni'''s'''on. Note letter reversal.
&lt;strong&gt;nu-&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;n&lt;/strong&gt;e&lt;strong&gt;u&lt;/strong&gt;tral.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;strong&gt;ja-&lt;/strong&gt; :: m&lt;strong&gt;aj&lt;/strong&gt;or. Note letter reversal. You could pronounce it &lt;em&gt;jah&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;jay&lt;/em&gt;, altho I prefer th former.&lt;br /&gt;
'''-to''' :: '''to'''ne, as in ''second''.
&lt;strong&gt;go-&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;g&lt;/strong&gt;reater. I changed th vowel for variety.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;strong&gt;pr-&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;p&lt;/strong&gt;e&lt;strong&gt;r&lt;/strong&gt;fect. Pronounce it like &lt;em&gt;per&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

'''-fo''' :: '''fo'''urth.
&lt;strong&gt;-su&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;u&lt;/strong&gt;ni&lt;strong&gt;s&lt;/strong&gt;on. Note letter reversal.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;strong&gt;-to&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;to&lt;/strong&gt;ne, as in &lt;em&gt;second&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
'''-tr''' :: '''tr'''itone. Altho it's three letters, '''tri''' also works very well, &amp; may sound better to you.
&lt;strong&gt;-di&lt;/strong&gt; :: th&lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;r&lt;strong&gt;d&lt;/strong&gt;. Note letter reversal.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;strong&gt;-fo&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;fo&lt;/strong&gt;urth.&lt;br /&gt;
'''-fi''' :: '''fi'''fth. Pronounce like ''fee''.
&lt;strong&gt;-tr&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;tr&lt;/strong&gt;itone. Altho it's three letters, &lt;strong&gt;tri&lt;/strong&gt; also works very well, &amp;amp; may sound better to you.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;strong&gt;-fi&lt;/strong&gt; :: &lt;strong&gt;fi&lt;/strong&gt;fth. Pronounce like &lt;em&gt;fee&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
'''-xa''' :: si'''x'''th. I changed the vowel for variety.
&lt;strong&gt;-xa&lt;/strong&gt; :: si&lt;strong&gt;x&lt;/strong&gt;th. I changed th vowel for variety.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;strong&gt;-vu&lt;/strong&gt; :: se&lt;strong&gt;v&lt;/strong&gt;enth. I changed th vowel for variety.&lt;br /&gt;
