Wa = white = 3-limit, yo = yellow = ~~major~~, gu = green = ~~minor~~, zo = blue = subminor, ru = red = supermajor. ~~The lattice looks like this:~~

Wa = white = 3-limit, yo = yellow = 5-over, gu = green = 5-under, zo = blue = 7-over (subminor), ru = red = 7-under (supermajor).

Ya means 5-all, i.e. 5-limit, and includes wa, yo, yoyo, gu, gugu, etc. Za (7-all) includes all 2.3.7 ratios. Yaza means 7-limit. The lattice looks like this:

Notes are named wC, zE♭, etc. Triads are named after their 3rd: Cy, Gz, etc. A yo chord is a major chord.

Tetrads are named Cy6, ~~Dg,r6~~, etc. Here's the main 7-limit chord types:

Temperaments are named after the comma(s) they temper out. Porcupine is triple yo, and 7-limit pajara is double ruyo and ru. The name indicates the prime subgroup and the rank of the temperament.
