A table of what the equave is called based on how many steps it contains. This is distinct from the Greek numbers used to name harmonics, as the term "octave" comes from Latin. The -us ending is dropped from Latin numerals (as in second) except where a final silent -e is kept to indicate a long vowel (as in octave), except where said -e would lead to confusion (as with non, where it would be confused with "none", also, the English pronunciation of the Latin non- root does not include a long vowel) | A table of what the equave is called based on how many steps it contains.
