Multipliers like bi-, tri-, etc. can be combined: 6-fold = tribi-, 8-fold = quadbi-, 9-fold = tritri-, 10-fold = quinbi-, 12-fold = quadtri-, 14-fold = sepbi-, 15-fold = quintri-, 16-fold = quadquad-, etc. Higher primes use their color word, but with the suffix '''-e''' for exponent:

* 11-fold = '''le-''' ("leh"), 13-fold = '''the-''' (unvoiced "th"). 17 = '''se-''', 19 = '''ne-''', 23 = '''twenty-the-''', 29 = '''twenty-ne-''', etc.

To make the names easier for non-Anglophones, the 5 vowels are the basic vowels found in Spanish, ah eh ee oh oo.

To make the names easier for non-Anglophones, the 5 vowels are the basic vowels found in Spanish, ah eh ee oh oo. In Spanish and many other languages, "th" would become "tr". See [[Color notation/Translations|Color Notation/Translations]].

Any comma < 256/243 = 90¢ is guaranteed to be the smallest ratio in its segment. Any comma > 9/8 = 204¢ is guaranteed to <u>not</u> be the smallest, and -bi must be appended to the name. If a comma is 90-204¢, let X = the sum of all the exponents of the monzo except the two exponent. If and only if X mod 7 is 4 or 5, 256/243 can be subtracted without changing the magnitude, and the comma is the 2nd smallest ratio.
