17edo solfege
Andrew Heathwaite's solfege
Basic solfege
Andrew's solfege expands on the conventional Do - Di/Ra - Re - Ri/Me - Mi - Fa - Fi/Se - So - Si/Le - La - Li/Te - Ti - Do. Note that syllables usually treated as enharmonic equivalents become distinct pitches in 17edo. Note that Di (the A1) is wider than Ra (the m2).

Listed as a circle of 5ths: Se Ra Le Me Te Fa Do So Re La Mi Ti Fi Di Si Ri Li (Se)
The intervals run from dim5 to aug6. Note the strangely-spelled 5th from Li to Se (a double-dim 7th) that completes the circle.
Expanded solfege
To avoid naming ascending intervals as descending (e.g. Ra-Di or Me-Ri), 10 enharmonic equivalents are added, so that the 10 black keys each have two names. The 6 mid intervals use -u. The 4 half-aug intervals ^1, ^M2, ^5 and ^M6 use either -a or -o, whichever one doesn't conflict with a pre-existing syllable.
