"tigypre" means "performer-person" and it would cause unacceptable confusion to give it the additional totally unrelated meaning of a musical chord. Similarly for "mijyste" which could be used in the description of an algorithm to find the median. "ai.o'upei" is an attitudinal question and can't be used to name anything. The proper way to name notes, I think, is with letterals. phma
