 There are two primary chromatic functions that arise from the Tonic through the Imitation process.
-'''Superdislocant''' - This is a note that is to either the Lead or the Contralead what a Tyrant is to a Sycophant.  Specifically, it is the result of the Tonic being altered by some kind of chromatic semitone upwards and thus being displaced by a Nontonic function which leads away from the Tonic proper.
+'''Superdislocant''' - This is a note that is to the Supercollocant what a Tyrant is to a Sycophant.  Specifically, it is the result of the Tonic being altered by some kind of chromatic semitone upwards and thus being displaced by a Nontonic function which leads away from the Tonic proper.
-'''Subdislocant''' - This is a note that is to either the Lead or the Contralead what a Tyrant is to a Sycophant.  Specifically, it is the result of the Tonic being altered by some kind of chromatic semitone downwards and thus being displaced by a Nontonic function which leads away from the Tonic proper.
+'''Subdislocant''' - This is a note that is to either the Subcollocant what a Tyrant is to a Sycophant.  Specifically, it is the result of the Tonic being altered by some kind of chromatic semitone downwards and thus being displaced by a Nontonic function which leads away from the Tonic proper.

 '''Superdietic''' - This function is a compositing of Supercommatic and Supergradient, and as Supercommatic is part of its nature, it is effectively repelled harmonically.  It should be noted that this is one of only a handful of composite functions which are formed by the overlap between different functional regions rather than merely being located at a boundary.
-'''Bleed''' - This function is a compositing of Subgradient and Lead functions, and thus, has a more tense feel than a Lead alone.
+'''Subsanguinant''' - This function is one of two "bleeding tone" functions- hence its Latin-derived name- and is a compositing of Subgradient and Proximosubcollocant functions, and thus, has a more tense feel than a Proximosubcollocant alone.  It should be noted that this function is formed by the overlap between different functional regions rather than merely being located at a boundary.
-'''Contrableed''' - This function is a compositing of Supergradient and Contralead functions, and thus, has a more tense feel than a Contralead alone.
+'''Supersanguinant''' - This function is one of two "bleeding tone" functions- hence its Latin-derived name- and is a compositing of Supergradient and Proximosupercollocant functions, and thus, has a more tense feel than a Contralead alone.  It should be noted that this function is formed by the overlap between different functional regions rather than merely being located at a boundary.
-'''Submaculant''' - This function is a compositing of Subgradient and Subdislocant, and thus is like the chromatic version of the Bleed.
+'''Submaculant''' - This function is a compositing of Subgradient and Subdislocant, and thus is like the chromatic version of the Subsanguinant.
-'''Supermaculant''' - This function is a compositing of Supergradient and Superdislocant, and thus is like the chromatic version of the Contrableed.
+'''Supermaculant''' - This function is a compositing of Supergradient and Superdislocant, and thus is like the chromatic version of the Supersanguinant.
-'''Subbilancant''' - This function is a compositing of Subcollocant and Subabrogant functions, however, the tendency to resolve to the Tonic or to the Subtonic are about equal due to Tonic having greater gravity than the Subtonic.  The term ultimately comes from "bilancāns"- a Latin-based calque of similar verb forms from Romance languages meaning "balancing" which consists of Latin "bilanx"<ref>[[Wiktionary: bilanx #Latin]]</ref> with the Latin "-āns"<ref>[[Wiktionary: -ans #Latin]]</ref> suffix attached.
-'''Superbilancant''' - This function is a compositing of Supercollocant and Superabrogant functions, however, the tendency to resolve to the Tonic or to the Supertonic are about equal due to Tonic having greater gravity than the Supertonic.
 These are composite functions immediately surrounding the Antitonic region
