Using fixed-solfege, each physical key on the Lumatone can be named. Since the meaning of ups and downs changes in different edos, better to use -u/-o to mean aug/dim. This picture shows the names if C is named Da.

The uppermost few keys use -iyi ("ee-yee"), meaning quadruple-aug. One could instead set Da to D, in order to get a more symmetrical layout, and thus change two -iyi's to -eyo's.

One could also name all the lumatone keys using only 7 consonants, using -eye ("ay-yay") for quadruple-dim:

Using movable-solfege, one can name the notes of a scale independent of key. One can also name any physical interval on the lumatone. For example, one step in the 1:00 direction is always Du, two steps in the 2:30 direction is always Ma, etc.
