Mnemonic: the Dr- names have an "r" like the equivalent 2nds do. The VIv chord would be named La - Dro - Ma. If followed by a II chord, the melody Fra-Ra would become Dro-Ra, much better.

However this is not enough to avoid awkward names. For example, the 3rd of the vIIIv chord is a vv#5 note named as a 6th, Flo. To get full coverage, we would need more aug and dim intervals. We could add -k- for augmented and -w- for diminished:
However this is not enough to avoid awkward names. For example, the 3rd of the vIIIv chord is a vv#5 note named as a 6th, Flo. To get as much coverage as the conventional solfege, we would need 3 more aug intervals. We could use -k- for augmented:
 
* aug 1sns: Dri Dro Dra Dru
* aug 5ths: Ski Sko Ska Sku  
* aug 5ths: Ski Sko Ska Sku  
* aug 2nds: Kri Kro Kra Kru  
* aug 2nds: Kri Kro Kra Kru  
* aug 6ths: Kli Klo Kla Klu
* aug 6ths: Kli Klo Kla Klu


The vIIIv chord would be named Mo Ski Lo. The 17 -a notes would run from dim 5th to aug 6th:
Sha - Fra - Fla - Na - Tha - Fa - Da - Sa - Ra - La - Ma - Ta - Pa - Dra - Ska - Kra - Kla
Almost every major chord could be spelled appropriately, as long as the root is one of the original 45 names. But bIIv7 lacks a vd8 name. To get all the chords, we would need 4 more dim intervals:
* dim 8ves: Dwo Dwa Dwu Dwi
* dim 8ves: Dwo Dwa Dwu Dwi
* dim 4ths: Fwo Fwa Fwu Fwi
* dim 4ths: Fwo Fwa Fwu Fwi
* dim 7ths: Thwo Thwa Thwu Thwi
* dim 7ths: Thwo Thwa Thwu Thwi
* dim 3rds: Nwo Nwa Nwu Nwi
* dim 3rds: Nwo Nwa Nwu Nwi
The vIIIv chord would be named Mo Ski Lo. The 21 -a notes would run from dim 3rd to aug 6th:
Nwa - Thwa - Fwa - Dwa - Sha - Fra - Fla - Na - Tha - Fa - Da - Sa - Ra - La - Ma - Ta - Pa - Dra - Ska - Kra - Kla
Almost every chord could be spelled appropriately, as long as the root is one of the original 45 names.

We <u>could</u> do this, but <u>should</u> we? With 77 names, the solfege is harder to learn. With names like Nwo and Thwu, it's less singable. Such a complex solfege is more of a barrier than an aid. IMO such expansions shouldn't happen unless absolutely needed, say if perhaps 41edo becomes an extremely popular tuning rivaling 12edo.
