Star system

Planet names in Phormatolidin: Sphytin, Alathoin, Phycodin, Chlorotricin (Hussmauch), Sterocythin, Tharofudin, Clypharin, Xantheromin

Planetary characteristics

1 HM year = 381.3668618 Earth days/357.0806527870906 HM days

1 HM day = 25.6323176 hours

86400

357 days = 51 7-day weeks

leap day every 12.3988275678 years

months: 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29(30)

every 12 except: when the year is divisible by 372

perfect for clofabians

so the years 270, 520, 790, X40, 10E0, 1360, 1610, 1880, ... are not leap years

actually if the year is divisible by 130944=352*372 it's a leap year

Areas

Continents:

  • Cuadhlabh
    • "Talmic" area
    • CW area
  • Schrubstiempf
    • "Conservative Pfeunic" area
    • Wiebosphere proper
      • "Broad-slender" area
      • "SEA" area
  • Where the Native American-esque languages live
  • Bhadhagha Island (Literally read Irish gibs)
  • Doreusigeul

Talma

Loanwords tend to come from:

  • Science, law and administration: Old Netagin
  • Music: Koine Netagin (esp. in music directions, tho more recent composers tend to use their own native language in directions)
  • Other arts: Nurian
  • Cuisine: Nurian
  • (Modern) philosophy and literature: Nurian, Tíogall

Eastern Cuadhlabh

Loanwords tend to come from:

Southwestern Cuadhlabh

Loanwords tend to come from:

Northeastern Cuadhlabh

Wiebosphere

Loanwords tend to come from:

Naquosphere

Loanwords tend to come from:

Language families of Modern Hussmauch

Programming languages

  • Verbose language with Clofabosin keywords (Java + Python hybrid)

"if X": X sartan (sartan = "case, condition")

"for i in range(1,10)": (1,10) apidan gaptan i ibat (gloss: "(1,10) range member i DISTRIBUTIVE")

"while X": X otetan (otetan = "period of time")

  • Functional language
  • C analogue

Musical cultures

Logarithmic measure of intervals: exp(1/1728)

Eastern Cuadhlabh

Instriments

  • spúith (Clofabosin: spiutin) = plucked string instrument with sympathetic strings
  • ŋamsaí (Clofabosin: ingamsin) = a bowed string instrument used for melodic lines
  • penicillin = a wind instrument
  • ditoren = a string instrument

(a lot of overlap with Talmic music)

Talma

Instruments

  • spúith = plucked string instrument with sympathetic strings
  • ŋamsaí (from Netagin) = a bowed string instrument used for melodic lines

Need more Netagin instruments

Tuning systems

Older music uses JI scales (tonality diamonds) and some temperaments (mostly as approximations to JI). Scúdhainn (~ 200 years BP) defined the concept of linear temperaments and was the first to use some rank-2 temperaments in her musical œuvre.

Folk and popular music prefers "simpler" harmonic series based scales - e.g. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Musical forms

Wiebosphere

Naquosphere

Religions and mysticism

  • Thensarian paganism
  • Wiebian paganism
  • Naquian paganism
  • Clofabian paganism
  • A more universalistic religion (in the same general cluster as Christianity or Mahayana Buddhism)
    • A person goes to a (potentially infinite?) chain of purgatories after they die - one's karma increases or reduces time served in purgatories
    • Heaven exists, "hell" is when a soul spends indefinite time in purgatories

People

Surnames are bolded.

  • Tnehl Wotterstein - Wiebian composer
  • Lobsang Ziefer - Wiebian general
  • Neumer Kait ("Neumer I.") - Ancient Wiebian queen
  • Sjameu Panzux - Xaetjeon linguist
  • Aodhàn Càdlàg - Bhadhagha mathematician
  • Zarbíá Scúdhainn - Tíogall mathematician/tuning theorist/composer
  • Mabés Leachra - Tíogall-speaking poet
