* "Srutan, shrutaric | * "Srutan, shrutaric & srutinic" = Resembles [[diatonic]] mode names, which makes sense in many levels: | ||
** [[Meantone]] and its diatonic modes are a kind of ‘sister tuning’ of srutal due to: | ** [[Meantone]] and its diatonic modes are a kind of ‘sister tuning’ of srutal due to: | ||

** These temperaments are a compromise or a fusion between Indian shruti theory and Western diatonic-descended [[MOS]] and RTT theory, so it’s fitting for the names to be a hybrid of the two | ** These temperaments are a compromise or a fusion between Indian shruti theory and Western diatonic-descended [[MOS]] and RTT theory, so it’s fitting for the names to be a hybrid of the two | ||
* "Zurutal, zurutar | * "Qrutal, qrutar & qruti" = The short "q" sound represents how nimble and efficient the tunings are at approximating [[5-limit]] JI, it also evokes the word “queen”, alluding to srutal’s elevated position at the top of the ranking of [[Low harmonic entropy linear temperaments]] | ||
* "Krutal, krutar | * "Zurutal, zurutar & zuruti" = The letter z represents the winding path the temperaments took across the world | ||
* "Krutal, krutar & kruti" = The short "k" sound represents how nimble and efficient the tunings are at approximating 5-limit JI | |||
;Difficulty of renaming - Very high. Lots of other temperaments are named in reference to these, lots of music and theory has been written with these, it'd be a massive pain. | ;Difficulty of renaming - Very high.
