 It's remarkable that Jopah composed very little during his lifetime; only one piece of his survives, ''Tłüa thrăhoy id-Eal mi-Wă'ech'' (meaning? should be a sentence). However, Jopah's poetry is very popular in modern Talma and has been set to music by quite a few composers; most notably the Clofabian composer Abediterol Benadryl.
-Jopah's understanding of tuning was more metaphysical than practical.
+Jopah's understanding of tuning was more metaphysical than practical. He believed that ancient Talman philosophy, music and languages were unified. He often went beyond the texts and turned to the ancient Tigol, Windermere and Thensarian languages themselves for musical and philosophical ideas.
-His 31 tone scale inspired by the tigol language: 1/1 36/35 135/128 16/15 35/32 9/8 8/7 7/6 6/5 128/105 5/4 9/7 21/16 4/3 48/35 45/32 64/45 35/24 3/2 32/21 14/9 8/5 105/64 27/16 12/7 7/4 16/9 64/35 15/8 27/14 63/32 2/1
+For example Jopah proposed a novel 31 tone scale in his commentary on Sondmorið which is directly influenced by the Tigol consonant system with three parallel lattices consisting of 9, 14 and 8 notes, paralleling Tigol's 14 plain consonants, 8 eclipses and 9 lenitions.
