There can be more than one way to name a comma. To avoid duplicate names, there are naming rules.

* Colors are always listed highest primes first.
* Colors are always listed highest primes first.
* Multipliers affect all syllables up until the '''-a-''' delimiter occurs: trizogu = z<sup>3</sup>g<sup>3</sup>, but trizoagu = z<sup>3</sup>g.
* Multipliers affect all subsequent syllables until the '''-a-''' delimiter occurs: trizogu = z<sup>3</sup>g<sup>3</sup>, but trizoagu = z<sup>3</sup>g.
* The "a" in la and sa acts as a delimiter: trilayo = L<sup>3</sup>y and trilatriyo = L<sup>3</sup>y<sup>3</sup>
* The "a" in la and sa acts as a delimiter: trilayo = L<sup>3</sup>y and trilatriyo = L<sup>3</sup>y<sup>3</sup>
* Multiplier syllables fuse into one multiplier word: tribizogu = (tribi) x (zogu) = z<sup>6</sup>g<sup>6</sup>, not (tri) x (bizogu) = z<sup>6</sup>g<sup>3</sup>.
* [''Is this rule needed?''] Multiplier syllables fuse into one multiplier word: tribizogu = (tribi) x (zogu) = z<sup>6</sup>g<sup>6</sup>, not (tri) x (bizogu).
* Avoid using the -a- delimiter if possible: z<sup>4</sup>gg = bizozogu, not quadzoagugu
* Avoid using the -a- delimiter if possible: z<sup>4</sup>gg = bizozogu, not quadzoagugu
Therefore if the name starts with a multiplier word, and there's no -a- delimiter, that first multiplier word indicates the color GCD and thus the pergen's split(s). e.g. bizozogu = (P8, P5/2, /1). In the following list, an asterisk marks cases where this isn't possible, and the GCD is hidden.
