'''Lo''' = 11-over, '''lu''' = 11-under, and '''la''' = 11-all = 2.3.11 Because "lo C" sounds like "low C", lo when by itself becomes '''ilo''' ("ee-LOW"). But with other words it doesn't use i-, as in 11/7 = loru 5th. Lo and lu are abbreviated to '''1o''' and '''1u''' on the score and in interval names and chord names, e.g. ilo A = 1oA, ilo 4th = 1o4 = 11/8, and C ilo seven = C1o7 = 1/1 - 11/9 - 3/2 - 11/6 on C. Lolo is 1oo, triple-lu is 1u<sup>3</sup>, etc. The associated color is lavender (mnemonic: "e-leven-der"), which refers to both ilo and lu, since they are only 7.1¢ apart. Lavender is a '''pseudocolor''' that implies the [http://x31eq.com/cgi-bin/rt.cgi?ets=24_17&limit=2_3_11 Neuter] temperament. IIo notes could be called lovender, and lu notes could be called luvender. Both are "shades" of lavender.

'''Tho''' = 13-over, '''thu''' = 13-under, and '''tha''' = 13-all. Tho and thu are abbreviated as '''3o''' and '''3u''' on the score and in interval names, e.g. 13/8 = 3o6 = tho 6th. Languages without a "th" sound might use '''tro''', '''tru''' and '''tra'''. See ~~the appendix in~~ [~~http://www.tallkite.com/AlternativeTunings.html Kite's book~~] ~~for more on translating colors into other languages~~.

Prime subgroups: yala = 2.3.5.11, zalatha nowa = 2.7.11.13, and yazalatha = 2.3.5.7.11.13 = the full 13-limit. '''Noya''' is a general term, not used in actual subgroup names, that indicates the absence of 5 and the presence of higher primes, e.g. zala, latha and zalatha are all noya. Likewise, there's '''noza''' and '''noyaza'''.
