Kite's color notation: Difference between revisions

Line 467:

We've seen bi- for double and tri- for triple. Quadruple and quintuple are abbreviated '''quad-''' and '''quin-''', as in quadyo or quingu. Colorspeak syllables usually end in one of the five basic vowels. Quad and quin are both exceptions, so quad may optionally be spoken as "kwah", and quin as "kwee".

Except for quad, all exponent syllables are prime numbers. Septuple is '''sep-'''. ~~Above~~ 7, all exponent syllables are the root color word plus -e for exponent. Eleven-fold is '''le-''' = "e'''l'''even '''e'''xponent", pronounced as in "lens". Thirteen-fold is '''the-''' as in "thesaurus". Note that sep- means seven-fold and '''se-''' means seventeen-fold.

Except for quad, all exponent syllables are prime numbers. Septuple is '''sep-'''. For extreme cases above 7, all exponent syllables are the root color word plus -e for exponent. Eleven-fold is '''le-''' = "e'''l'''even '''e'''xponent", pronounced as in "lens". Thirteen-fold is '''the-''' as in "thesaurus". Note that sep- means seven-fold and '''se-''' means seventeen-fold.

Exponents can be combined: sextuple = tribi-, 8-fold = quadbi-, 9-fold = tritri-, 10-fold = quinbi-, 12-fold = quadtri-, 14-fold = sepbi-, 15-fold = quintri-, 16-fold = quadquad-, etc. The component syllables are simply the number's prime factors in descending order, except that quad replaces bibi and comes before tri.
