early naquians could have started out with JI
after all there are many musical cultures on earth that use weird meters
the difference between naquian music and etalocian music would be that the former cared more about "expressiveness" (kind of like the romantics) than harmony (making their approach to tuning more 'fluid')
hence, peppermint tuning!
that expressiveness could have come from theater
whereas the etalocians value precision/purity of harmony more
which is why the foscúghal tradition emerged much later
(like even the way the instruments are built in etalocin reflect a more structurally microtonal approach)
that might have weird consequences for naquian "mathemusic"
like, naquians may think of the scale in terms of rough 'pitch classes' (formalized by CS)
some things that might arise in the actual music:
1) heavy ornamentation (trills, yodeling, falsetto, vibrato ...)
2) neutral third scales (Bruno Nettl found that infants experimenting with singing tend to use neutral thirds quite a bit)
but no throat singing
choral "polyphony" of a different kind (less focused on pure harmonies and more on "gestures")
and Partch-style corporeality!
folk music of course might use just intonation with instruments that use the overtone series (like the jaw harp and overtone flutes)
the weird side effect is Etalocin doesn't have a "Partch figure"
(because Partchian music is an ancient tradition)
the Xaetjeon people collectively import it to Etalocin
some instruments can start out as simple devices used to imitate natural phenomena (animal calls, wind, thunder ...) in theater
then some clever modern Naquian would find a way to capture those effects on the ŋamsám 😀
let's say the emphasis on neutral thirds leads to a rough division of the octave into 7 parts
and a 27 tone octave (that's another neutral third MOS)
though the closest i can get to 7edo in 27edo is 4 4 4 3 4 4 4
or 4 4 4 4 3 4 4 for a mode with a perfect fifth
that gives me an idea for terminology
each step in 7edo can be likened to a lunar cycle (divided into 4 parts, full moon, waning, new moon and waxing)
there will be overlap between the "full moon" of the first step and the "waxing" part of the last step (since there are 27 and not 28 steps in the naquian octave)
or the step that's subdivided into 3 can be considered "defective"
this "micro"-subdivision is used in two places
1) with instruments of fixed pitch
2) in pedagogic methods so students can get a rough idea as to where the intervals lie
(for students of voice and flexible pitch instruments)
Hjeonvix could give the name '["Naquian tuning"]' to tetracot temperament 😀
or '["Naquian temperament"]' (a misnomer on many levels!)
if éflach means temperament
in fact a 7 step octave would make it possible for a notation a lot like our staff notation to be adopted in the naquosphere! (leaving etalocians with something symbolic like daseian?)
a possible naquian notation
the 27 tone "scale"
(dots signify raising and lowering by discrete quantities, fancier shapes next to the notes are used for other ornaments)
sounds like C Db Ed Fd(trilled with G) G->F#->G kind of
often played as 1/1 21/20 5/4 9/7 3/2->10/7->3/2 on the seomhoidhre

Tricin (Clofabosin: tricin /tɾikin/ 'world'; Chick Corean: xjeof) is an open-source collaborative conworld originally created by User:IlL (and to a large extent, User:Praimhín), where Clofabosin is the international lingua franca in contemporary times.

Active contributors list

New active contributors should add themselves here. You can state what tasks you want to take over in the near future.

Todo for contributors

  • Cleanup!
  • Avoid words that sound like profanities in common Earth languages in the conlangs
  • Find some microtonalist types
  • Find a domain to host a dedicated wiki on
  • Global warming might force people to migrate - main driver of linguistic change in the beginning of postmodern Tricin?
  • Trician architecture?
  • A Tricin manga series or video game?

Star system

G-type star: actin in Clofabosin

Planet names:

  • spitin
  • tricin
  • alatin
  • fricodin
  • sterocitin
  • tarofudin
  • clifarin
  • zanteromin

Planetary characteristics

1 HM year = 381.3668618 Earth days = 357.0806527870906 HM days = 1.04410737342 Earth years

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

Calendar

Months in Clofabosin:

  • talaporfin
  • uneporfin
  • verteporfin
  • rostaporfin
  • exeporfin
  • avidoporfin
  • temoporfin
  • padeliporfin

  • lamorelin
  • timorelin

Prehistory

  • Long period of glaciation like in our world.

Areas

Continents:

  • Etalocin
  • Zoomosphere
  • Naquosphere
  • ???
  • Two polar ice sheets

Etalocin

Main article: Verse:Etalocin

Naquosphere

Loanwords tend to come from:

Modern features: large clitic complexes

Ancient Naquian tradition of theater, motivating linguistic analysis

Language families of Clotricin

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

Zoomosphere

Gamelan-like orchestras with metallophones/marimbas, drums, gongs. Use of voice or other harmonic timbres is limited.

Tuning: various inharmonic tunings

Naquosphere

Religions, mysticism and philosophy

  • Ftseezhic pantheism/animism
  • Naquian paganism - develops into science fiction!
  • 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
    • Question: "Assume that there is a God whom we trust and want to get messages from. When can you trust someone who claims to be God?"
      • This leads to discussions of computer security protocols before computers were invented
      • "God's Public Key" = either a satirical TV show episode, a short story or a song

People

Surnames are bolded.

needs more linguists!

Naquosphere

  • Quēhtloyoz - ancient Naquian linguist, wrote the first detailed grammar on Hussmauch
  • Huichaltzah - explorer, phonetician, playwright and conlanger; explored Sjeudin around fT 432, discovered the languages and foretold the evolution of Xaetjeon
  • Wañjeeyiʼ - Sjowaazheñ poet

Modern
