Each interval "shortname" I've devised has exactly two simple syllables of two letters to facilitate its easy & speedy utterance. I have taken a set of common names for the intervals already in existence & used them as a jumping-off point. You'll notice I've done away with the words ''subminor, supermajor, diminished, & augmented'' in favor of the more consistent ''lesser & greater''. In a system with more notes, those types of distinctions could prove important, but I believe it gets in the way here, so I've simplified. | Each interval "shortname" I've devised has exactly two simple syllables of two letters to facilitate its easy & speedy utterance.

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