The seven 2nds illustrate the solfege's logic: | |||

However, consider the 4 tritones Fi, Po, Pa and Pu. The note a 5th above any of these would be some sort of augmented or mid 8ve, which doesn't exist in this solfege. Therefore one must rename the tritone as a dim or mid 5th. Thus Po + 5th = Sha + 5th = Fra. Likewise, Sho, Sha, Shu and Si need renaming when adding a 4th: Shu + 4th = Pa + 4th = Ta. | However, consider the 4 tritones Fi, Po, Pa and Pu.

One minor exception arises with Ti and Fi. Conventionally, M7 + 5th = A4, and indeed Tu/Ta/To + 5th = Pu/Pa/Po. But Ti + 5th = Fi not Pi. Likewise Fu/Fa/Fo + 4th = Thu/Tha/Tho, minor 7ths as expected, but Fi + 4th = Ti not Thi. These exceptions are not an issue as long as you remember that there is no Pi or Thi in the solfege. | |||

The same rule for 4ths and 5ths mostly holds for plain major 2nds. Keep the vowel, and change the consonant as expected. Ra + M2 = Ma. But again the 4 tritones must be named as 5ths not 4ths: Fi + M2 = Sho + M2 = Flo. Note that Fi to Si is a <u>minor</u> 2nd. Beware, this rule breaks down entirely for major | The same rule for 4ths and 5ths mostly holds for plain major 2nds. Keep the vowel, and change the consonant as expected. Ra + M2 = Ma.

Beware, this rule breaks down entirely for major and mid 7ths (the four T- notes), due to the lack of aug and mid 8ves: | ||
