The extra names Du and Do aren't necessary, but only one D- note seems too few since all the other degrees have 4 names.

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".

solfege Da Ri Ru Ro Ra Mi Mu Mo Ma Fi Fu/Si Fo/Su Fa/So Sa Li Lu Lo La Ti Tu To Ta Da

The four 2nds illustrate the solfege's logic:

  • Ri = Re-minor = m2
  • Ru = Re-upminor = ^m2
  • Ro = Re-downmajor = vM2
  • Ra = Re-major = M2
Example scales
Plain major scale Da Ra Ma Fi Sa La Ta Da
Downmajor scale Da Ra Mo Fi Sa Lo To Da
Upminor scale Da Ra Mu Fi Sa Lu Tu Da
Plain minor scale Da Ra Mi Fi Sa Li Ti Da
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

Da Sa Ra La Ma Ta Fa (So)

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