:: Now I'm the creator of colorspeak, but I don't want to be a dictator. So this is just one person's opinion. I like option #1. Because adding sev- only gets us a little ways further down the list of primes. The question then becomes, how do you say 83-over? And 97-over? And what about 101, 103, 107 and 109? Just to cover harmonics 64-128 we would need probably 6 new words. And then there's people using harmonics 128-256, and the temptation is to invent even more words. And then you just *know* someone's going to coma along and start talking about how great prime 257 is! So to recap, we have to deal with primes 7 and 17, then the next dozen are pretty easy, then we hit a roadblock, because 71, 73 and 79 are too similar-sounding to 7 and 17. IMO this is a good place for our inevitable surrender to the vast quantity of prime numbers. At least we get harmonics 32-64 all named. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 10:25, 21 December 2020 (UTC) | :: Now I'm the creator of colorspeak, but I don't want to be a dictator.

::: Well Praveen had a brilliant idea and now I have to eat my words. :) 70 can be fitwe (50 + 20). Fits the logic of colorspeak perfectly. This lets us cover harmonics 64-128 without adding any new words. | |||
