:::::::: The name "Alpharabian" came from "Alpharabius", which is another name for [[Wikipedia:Al-Farabi|Abu Nasr Al-Farabi]]. This name was chosen because 33/32 is referred to as the Al-Farabi Quarter Tone, and since both Pythagoras and Al-Farabi were philosophers, it only makes sense to use "Alpharabian" to refer to the 11/8 axis, and even the [[Alpharabian comma]]. From there, I simply needed to come up with the name for another one of the commas in this system, the [[Betarabian comma]], and although this was hard at first, I realized that since "Alpharabian" contains the word "Alpha", I figured it would be easy to replace the "alpha-" part with a "beta-" part. It does make sense that you'd want to avoid the term "triensyntonic" so there's that. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 04:08, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
