Multipliers like bi-, tri-, etc. can be combined: 6-fold = tribi-, 8-fold = quadbi-, 9-fold = tritri-, 10-fold = quinbi-, 12-fold = quadtri-, 14-fold = sepbi-, 15-fold = quintri-, 16-fold = quadquad-, etc. Higher primes use their color word, but with the suffix '''-e''' for exponent: | Multipliers like bi-, tri-, etc. can be combined: 6-fold = tribi-, 8-fold = quadbi-, 9-fold = tritri-, 10-fold = quinbi-, 12-fold = quadtri-, 14-fold = sepbi-, 15-fold = quintri-, 16-fold = quadquad-, etc. Higher primes use their color word, but with the suffix '''-e''' for exponent: | ||

Even with these abbreviations, temperament names can get quite long. To make them quicker to say, "bee" and "tree" are preferred over "bye" and "try". If the comma's ratio has N digits, the temperament name will usually have N, N-1, N+1 or occasionally N+2 syllables. | Even with these abbreviations, temperament names can get quite long.

La also | La means large and also 11-all. The meaning will almost always be clear from context, however "this piece uses la notes" is ambiguous. To clarify, one should say either "large notes" (fifthward notes) or "ila notes" (11-limit notes). Likewise, sa also means 17-all, and "sa notes" should become either "small notes" or "isa notes". | ||
La is also the La note in solfege, and Sa is the tonic in saregam. The meaning will always be clear from context. Notes are never large or small. In fixed-do countries, the chord ALw (81/64 3rd) is "La lawa". | La is also the La note in solfege, and Sa is the tonic in saregam. The meaning will always be clear from context.

* [''Is this rule needed?''] Multiplier syllables fuse into one multiplier word: tribizogu = (tribi) x (zogu) = z<sup>6</sup>g<sup>6</sup>, not (tri) x (bizogu). | * [''Is this rule needed?''] Multiplier syllables fuse into one multiplier word: tribizogu = (tribi) x (zogu) = z<sup>6</sup>g<sup>6</sup>, not (tri) x (bizogu). | ||
* Avoid using the -a- delimiter if possible: z<sup>4</sup>gg = bizozogu, not quadzoagugu | * Avoid using the -a- delimiter if possible: z<sup>4</sup>gg = bizozogu, not quadzoagugu | ||
Therefore if the name starts with a multiplier word, and there's no -a- delimiter, that first multiplier word indicates the color GCD and thus the pergen's split(s). e.g. bizozogu = (P8, P5/2, /1). In the following list, an asterisk marks cases where this isn't possible, and the GCD is hidden. | Therefore if the name starts with a multiplier word, and there's no -a- delimiter, that first multiplier word indicates the '''color GCD''' and thus the [[Pergen|pergen's]] split(s). e.g. bizozogu = (P8, P5/2, /1).

Names of 5-6 syllables or more are easier to read if broken up by hyphens and/or dashes and/or spaces. [''The exact method hasn't been decided yet.''] | |||
