Line 181:

Colors for primes greater than 7 are named after the number itself, using the prefix '''i-''' for disambiguation as needed:

'''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. La when by itself may become '''ila''', to avoid confusion with the solfege note La, and also with large. 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 Lulu aka [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, 14/13 = 3uz2 = thuzo 2nd.
