Ternary Solrela
The following common words are ordered according to the permutations of the Solfege, the ternary table aims to cover most basic words, to learn more, see Solresol Dialects. Some of the original terms were replaced as per this document and the following categories:
| Category | Example | Type | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-Reversible | Triples(7) | rerere | Phonetic Spelling |
| Palindromes(42) | milami | Counters, Units, Sets | |
| Reversible | Doubles(84) | refafa | Special Names, Numbers |
| Sequential(14) | doremi | Verbs | |
| Standard(196) | domifa | Nouns |
Sudre's original categorization of words by first syllable is altogether incompatible with its concept of reversibility and too arbitrary to be used consistently(at least for the ternary dictionary), and so the original philosophical taxonomy is ignored in favor of the slightly more predictable association of concepts by syllabic inversion.
The positive member of a word set is kept above the mirror line whenever possible. Sudre's original meanings are written to the right of each row.
