Talk:Kite's color notation: Difference between revisions
m TallKite moved page Talk:Color notation to Talk:Kite's color notation over redirect: Editor VectorGraphics has repeatedly edited pages I've written about my own research and inserted misinformation. On discord he is openly hostile to me. This move is necessary to avoid a toxic work environment for me. |

== Proposals == | |||
Seeing how the consonants only really apply for primes up to 11, maybe take this a step further and go all in with the consonants. Up to the 31-limit possibly. Note that I have no synesthesia so it is as meaningless for me to call 5/4 yellow as it is to say that the sun smells like honesty, so I'm just picking consonants and colors at random, if any at all. Apart from that, with these new color consonants, you should avoid any homophones. I think. I ''had'' to put e, thorn and eth, I was running out of consonants... | |||
If the 31-limit is way too excessive, then possibly the 13-limit could be enough. I don't know how system-breaking would all of this be, just putting it on the table to see if anything sticks. | |||
* large/small: o/u (since they come at the beginning no problems, reusing over/under) | |||
* 2: cha/cho/(chu) [c] (to avoid homophony with /k/) | |||
* 3: wa/wo/du [w/d] | |||
* 5: ya/yo/gu [y/g] | |||
* 7: za/zo/ru [z/g] | |||
* 11: ma/mo/lu [m/L] (mo comes from ''mahogany'' or Spanish ''morado'') | |||
* 13: tha/tho/tu [þ/t] (tu comes from ''turquoise'') | |||
* 17: xa/xo/su [x/s] (xo comes from Nahuatl xochitl, pink? pronounced /ʃ/) | |||
* 19: va/vo/nu [v/n] (v comes from ''violet'') | |||
* 23: ja/jo/hu [j/h] (no idea) | |||
* 29: ka/ko/eu [k/e] (no idea, e not a consonant) | |||
* 31: dha/dho/fu [ð/f] (not a color but from ''dhirtee'', thirty in Yola pronounced /ð/, f no idea) | |||
* +/- degrees stay po/qu, but the qu would be pronounced /kwə/ | |||
For multipliers: | |||
I think adopting more could be helpful, to make more use out of vowels | |||
* bi (2) | |||
* tri (3) | |||
* qua (4) | |||
* quin (5) | |||
* he (6) | |||
* se (7) | |||
* ho (8) | |||
* ni (9) | |||
* ge (10) | |||
* le (11) | |||
* the (13) | |||
* xe (17) | |||
* ve (19) | |||
* je (23) | |||
* ke (29) | |||
* dhe (31) | |||

: Eufalasio and I discussed this privately. My opinion is that ma/xa/va/ja etc. are too much work to memorize. Likewise he/se/ho/ni etc. We agreed it would be nice to have a one-syllable word for sixfold, but couldn't come up with anything good that didn't conflict with sevenfold and seventeenfold. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 05:02, 28 March 2026 (UTC) | |||
