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), Tíogall (tho more recent composers tend to use their own native language in directions)
  • Other arts: Nurian
  • Cuisine: Nurian
  • (Modern) philosophy and literature: Nurian, Tíogall

Earlier lingua franca: Old Netagin

Later lingua franca: Tíogall (in fact it remained the lingua franca until quite recently, before the Internet after which Clofab took over)

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

Instruments

  • spúith (Clofabosin: spiutin)
  • ŋamsaí (Clofabosin: ingamsin)
  • penicillin = a wind instrument
  • ditoren = a string instrument

(a lot of overlap with Talmic music)

  • organs played with an isomorphic keyboard

Tuning systems

Some "modern" composers experiment with tuning systems such as various EDOs and linear temperaments, especially higher-limit meantone.

Talma

Instruments

  • spúith = plucked string instrument with sympathetic strings
  • ŋamsaí = a 5-stringed bowed string instrument used for the treble register
  • ŋamas (shd be an augmentative) = a ŋamsaí that's 1 octave lower
  • mifgól = a slide flute
  • jóghám = a zither
  • tláim = a reed instrument
  • fuíse = a drum
  • seobh-áidhre = an isomorphic keyboard

A typical chamber ensemble:

  • 2 ŋamsaíthe
  • 1 ŋamas

...

Some "minimal" chambers:

  • "String trio" or "string quartet": 2 ŋ + 1 Ŋ; 3 ŋ + 1 Ŋ

Tuning systems

  • Older music uses 5, 7 limit JI scales (a variety of them; or free JI?)
  • Culminates in 11 limit JI and temperaments (mostly as approximations to JI; perhaps also a "more prototypical" temperament like say 22edo).
  • Scúdhainn defined the concept of linear temperaments and used some rank-2 temperaments for the first time in her musical œuvre. (Matrices were known by then! Also linear temperaments arise naturally from constant structures)
  • Dekanies and eikosanies

Folk and popular music prefers "simpler" just scales:

  • 6:7:8:9:10:11:12
  • 5-/7-odd limit diamonds
  • 1 3 5 7 hexany

Musical forms

  • Art song settings of poems, with spúith or chamber accompaniment. Poems may deal with:
    • Nature, idyllic settings
    • Love
    • Mystical themes
    • A short dialogue

Notation

How can high-dimensional interval space x time be represented on two-dimensional paper?

Tempo markings and other staff directions are in Koine Netagin

Wiebosphere

Orchestras with metallophones/marimbas tuned to 15edo

Naquosphere

Religions, mysticism and philosophy

  • Thensarian paganism
  • Wiebian paganism
  • Naquian paganism
  • Clofabian paganism
  • A more universalistic religion (in the same general cluster as Christianity or Mahayana Buddhism)
    • Perhaps the former multiple gods coalesce into one God - instead of elimination of other gods in favor of one of them
    • 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
    • Mysticism, with people drawing up tree structures of afterlives lol

People

Surnames are bolded.

needs more linguists!
