::::::::::::::: The spectimal kleisma indeed seems a good possibility indeed. Could use the letter 'k' perhaps. --[[User:Lhearne|Lhearne]] ([[User talk:Lhearne|talk]]) 08:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::: I like the sound of using "K" for intervals like the septimal kleisma, but I still think that 33/32 needs its own identity as an interval in the final system because of its size and the interval math that I mentioned concerning how it adds up to make a whole tone. Besides, just as the Pythagorean axis controls diatonic interval arithmetic, so the Alpharabian axis controls quartertone or "paradiatonic" arithmetic. What's more, we can more easily account for septimal, tridecimal and septendecimal quartertones once we start adding or subtracting commas from 33/32. With that in mind, I think that we can use "M" for both "Major" and "Paramajor", and "m" for both "minor" and "paraminor" on account of both the Major-Minor distinction, and the Paramajor-Paraminor distinction behaving similarly to one another in most respects when it comes to interval arithmetic. For distinguishing the two neutral intervals, we can use "N" for "Greater Neutral" and "n" for "lesser neutral". We can then save the "U" for the remaining modifications of diatonic intervals by 33/32 due to "Parasuper-" and "Parasub-" still needing letters, and using "Up/Under" makes about as much sense as anything for this when it comes to shorthand. I think that having this system in place would go quite a ways towards establishing the order of prefixes as well. Does this make sense? --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 14:56, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
