Th- is unvoiced as in <u>th</u>ink. 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.

A few minor exceptions arise with the -i notes. Conventionally, M7 + 5th = A4, and indeed Ta + 5th = Pa. But Ti + 5th = Fi not Pi. Likewise Fa + 4th = Tha, a minor 7th 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.
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-ish and mid 7ths (the four T- notes), due to the lack of aug and mid 8ves:

* Tu + M2 = Ri (^M7 + M2 = ~9)
