Clotricin (Clofabosin: clo·tricin 'AUG-world'; Wiebian: Hussmauch) is a conworld where Clofabosin is the international lingua franca.

Star system

G-type star: actin in Clofabosin, Unde in Wiebian

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

Prehistory

Possibilities:

  • Humans on Clotricin came from an extra-Actin planet.
  • Long period of glaciation like in our world.

Areas

Continents:

  • Etalocin
  • Wiebosphere (known as Shijin in Reber Wiebian and Aem-Zrâtt in Trây)
  • Naquosphere
  • Bhadhagha Island (Literally read Irish gibs)
  • Doreusigeul

Talma (Northwestern Etalocin)

Main article: Verse:Talma

Loanwords tend to come from:

  • Science, law and administration: Old Netagin
  • Music: Koine Netagin (esp. in music directions)
  • Fashion and other arts: Koine Netagin, Tíogall, 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), perhaps also Koiné Netagin

Minority languages: Xaetjeon, Andarin

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 Etalocin

Instruments

  • spúith (Clofabosin: spiutin)
  • ŋamas (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 (pl. spúithe) = plucked string instrument with sympathetic strings
  • ŋamas (pl. ŋamsa) = "Talman violin": a 5-stringed bowed string instrument used for the treble and alto register
  • ŋamsám (pl. ŋamsáma) = a ŋamsaí that's 1 octave lower
  • mifgól (pl. mifgóla) = a slide flute
  • jóghám (pl. jógháma) = a zither
  • tuaim (pl. tuaimear) = a reed instrument
  • fuíse (pl. fuísí) = a drum
  • More recently, seobhoidhre (pl. seobhoidhrí) = an isomorphic keyboard
  • solo voice or choir

Tuning to temperaments is done with reference instruments or monochords

A typical chamber ensemble:

  • 2 ŋamsa
  • 1 ŋamsáma

...

Various chamber ensembles:

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

Tuning systems

Classical music:

  • 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 temperament-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 equating similar intervals in 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 (Tíogall: éanril). Poems may deal with:
    • Nature, idyllic settings
    • Love
    • Mystical themes
    • A short dialogue
  • Opera

Notation

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

  • Grid + accidentals - that's basically our system

Tempo markings and other staff directions are in Koine Netagin

Wiebosphere

Orchestras with metallophones/marimbas tuned to 15edo

Less emphasis on voice

Naquosphere

Religions, mysticism and philosophy

  • Talmic paganism
    • Tíogall an Saichte (singular) for 'the gods' - that's like the opposite of Elohim
  • 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
    • People drawing up graphs/trees of afterlives lol
      • This turns into various board games

People

Surnames are bolded.

needs more linguists!
