Recently, I have found five vowels from the language of Solar, at https://www.laghariportals.com/hekenic. At the “phonology” section, I saw all of the main vowels (except for o) and an extra vowel ä. I decided to make my own language that includes all of these vowels (and o).
I used the vowel spectrum from https://www.youtube.com/@L4MPLIGHT, with vowels in this order: i ~ e ~ a ~ o ~ u. For ä, it fits like this: e ~ ä ~ a. So the full spectrum is: i ~ e ~ ä ~ a ~ o ~ u. i maps to 0, and u maps to 5. The other vowels map to the numbers between 1 and 4, inclusive.
Next, I need a base name to make the numbers. For this case, I will choose Pomni. Breaking this up into-
Pomni: Are you trying to make some [BOINK!] words from my name?!
Breaking this up into separate letters gives us p, o, m, n, and i. There are two vowels in this word. We will start with the numerical layout.
So there are some simple cases, like Pimni (0) and Pemne (7). Pämnä is 14, so it is easy to detect multiples of 7 up to Pumnu (35). To make a shortcut, I use the suffix -ere, which is a shortened form of Repet (repeat). So Pimni (0) becomes Pimnere, and Pemne (7) becomes Pemnere.
Of course, I can choose other names, like Kinito.
Kinito: Hey, that’s my name, not yours!
Or I can build up from existing names, like Pomni to Pomini, or Kinito to Kiminito. Or I can combine names, like Kinito and Pomni to make Kinitomni, or Pomni and Kinito to make Pomnito. One way to do this is to notice shared vowels that can blend nicely.
For other numbers, the vowels map like this: p A m n B to A B, where A and B are vowels representing digits. So Pimne is 1, and Pemni is 6.
