Kite Giedraitis's solfege

Kite's solfege uses the conventional consonants D R M F S L T but unconventional vowels. The vowel sequence is -i -u -o -a for minor-upminor-downmajor-major, pronounced "meener oop-meener doe-n-mah-jur mah-jur".

The four 2nds illustrate the solfege's logic:

• Ri = Re-minor = m2
• Ru = Re-upminor = ^m2
• Ro = Re-downmajor = vM2
• Ra = Re-major = M2

Triyo/Porcupine[7] 4th	Da	Ro	Mu	Fi	Sa	Lo	Tu	Da

To find the octave complement of any interval:

• change the degree as usual: 2nd <--> 7th, 3rd <--> 6th, and 4th <--> 5th
• change the vowel as expected: -i <--> -a and -o <--> -u

The 25 note names in circle-of-5ths order (read left-to-right, top-row-to-bottom-row)

1sns	5ths	2nds	6ths	3rds	7ths	4ths (5ths)	1sns
Da	Sa	Ra	La	Ma	Ta	Fa (So)
	So	Ro	Lo	Mo	To	Fo (Su)
	Su	Ru	Lu	Mu	Tu	Fu (Si)
	Si	Ri	Li	Mi	Ti	Fi	Da

If spelled properly, all 4ths and 5ths rhyme, except for Da-Fi and Fi-Da.
