Glyphs not included in the Ygyde's alphabet are coded as two
consecutive vowels, two consecutive consonants, octal point
followed by a letter, or octal digit followed by a letter.
A pair of identical glyphs (e.g., +, -, =) can be coded with
one glyph only if the context makes it clear that it means the
pair of identical glyphs.
Isolated oli (octal point) glyph represents comma. If the
context makes it clear, other isolated glyphs may be used instead
of the double glyphs. For example, isolated glyph p may be
used instead of double glyph pp as the minus sign. Adjectives
and verbs are derived from double glyph nouns the same way as from
the compound words. For example: ogege = multiplication,
egege = multiplicative, igege = to multiply.

are made of two morphemes from the adjective table
followed by one morpheme from the noun table.
If the last morpheme is be (plant), bo (animal),
py (person = citizen), de (language), ty (country),
ga (money = currency), gu (liquid = ocean or lake),
gi (pump = geyser or hydrothermal vent),
ka (valve = volcano), wa (tape = peninsula), ky
(rigid solid = glacier), zu (city), sa (concavity = valley),
se (protrusion = mountain), sy (part = province),
so (group = archipelago), ju (road = highway),
we (sheet = continent), wy (surface = island),
mo (fusion = gulf), my (separation = strait),
or ni (path = river), the proper noun is a global
geographic name. A noun following the proper noun transforms
the proper noun into an adjective. If the last morpheme is ji
(place), the proper noun is a global place, which is a crude
(300 km resolution) geographic location. If the last morpheme is
ca (address), the proper noun is a local address.
If the last morpheme is zo (building), the proper noun is a short
building name. Details are described before the
geographic table . |

Long names are divided into drugs, long geographic
names, long building names, names of alloys,
names of people and expert nouns. The first morpheme of a
drug is ne (medical). The first morpheme of a global
geographic name is arbitrary. The remaining morphemes are the same as
the morphemes of the global geographic names. The first morpheme of a long
building name is arbitrary. The remaining morphemes are the same as the
morphemes of the short building names. The last morpheme of an alloy is
lo (atom). The remaining morphemes encode three most abundant
chemical elements of the alloy. The first morpheme encodes the most abundant
chemical element. Two following morphemes encode less abundant chemical
elements. This encoding is the same as first morpheme of the
chemical table except noble
gases which are replaced with chemical elements having greater atomic
number than 90. Helium is replaced with protactinium. Neon is replaced
with uranium. Argon is replaced with neptunium. Krypton is replaced with
plutonium. Xenon is replaced with americium. Radon is replaced with curium.
Heavier chemical elements are not alloyed. The last morpheme of the first
name of a person is da (name). The remaining morphemes encode
geographic coordinates of birth place and year of birth. The last morpheme of
the last name of a person is py (person). The remaining morphemes
encode biometric features: skin color, hair color, eye color, length of nose
and head, protruding cheek bones, prognathism, gender, etc. The
expert nouns are temporary long names used in patents
and other technical publications. They have different first morpheme than
ne (medical), different last morphemes than lo (atom),
da (name), py (person), global geographic names,
and long building names. The expert nouns are made of
two morphemes from the
adjective table, followed by two morphemes from the
noun table. |

A detailed global address made of three words: global place,
local address, and building name (short or long) is called
global address.
An alternative geographic location system is based on a quadball, which
is shown below. The quadball is spherical surface divided into six identical
shapes resembling squares. Each shape, called quad, has the same local
coordinate system. Different quads are labelled with different vowels:
B>a e y o u i. Longitudinal seam between the quads is located at 30
degrees longitude west. This geographic location system, called quadball
location system, has the advantage of high and nearly uniform resolution
of about 100 km. This location system has two minor flaws: it eliminates
6-letter long proper nouns and it describes only 15 types of geographical
objects. If we use this location system, all proper nouns will be 8 letters long.
The quadball location system also makes 6-letter long geographic names.
The first letter of the name is a consonant. It describes type of geographic
object. There are 15 types of geographic objects because there are 15
consonants in Ygyde's alphabet: b = river (mouth of river),
p = province, d = city, t = archipelago,
g = island, k = peninsula, w = valley,
f = gulf, z = citizen, s = strait, j =
currency, c = country, m = mountain, n = volcano,
l = ocean or lake. The second letter of the name is a vowel which
identifies the quad. There are 6 quads named a e y o u i. The
remaining 4 letters of the name are X and Y coordinates within the quad.
For example: cajapu = "country quad=a X=ja Y=pu".
Names of atoms used in chemical formulas are two letters long.
If the atomic number is less than 91, the name used in chemical
formulas is the same as the first morpheme. Examples:
ybafylo (hydrogen) is abbreviated as ba, the chemical
formula of water (H2O) is ba2pe. If the atomic number is at
least 91, the name used in chemical formulas is made of transposed
letters of the first morpheme. For example: obemylo (uranium)
is abbreviated as eb. If Ygyde glyphs are used, letters
e and y surrounded by spaces are used as parentheses.

Examples: 20 = owu oge. 2 and 10 = owu iwa oge.
120 angle degrees = 1/3 double Π radian = ogi lu olale.
Octal abbreviations of common angles: 360 degrees = haso olale; 180 degrees = hofa olale; 120 degrees = ogi olale; 90 degrees = hoku olale; 60 degrees = olu hose olale; 45 degrees = olu hoso olale.
Ygyde has two units of angle: olale (angle unit) and ogylale (simple angle unit). The olale is the same unit as the radian. It is convenient for physical calculations. The ogylale is more convenient for geometric calculations. One ogylale is defined as 1/24 of the full angle. Therefore: 30° = 2 ogylale, 45° = 3 ogylale, 60° = 4 ogylale, 90° = 6 ogylale, 120° = 8 ogylale, 180° = 12 ogylale, 270° = 18 ogylale. arc circumference = (ogylale)x(diameter)xΠ/24
Pairs of numbers are used to improve comprehension of spoken
language in a noisy environment. If the pair represents decimal
number, the first element of the pair is decimal and the second
element is its octal equivalent. If the pair represents octal
number, the first element of the pair is octal and the second
element is its decimal equivalent. Examples:
10^4 = hoti = hoti hoce
8 = ogu = ogu hoso = hoso ogu = hoso
8^8 = oji = oji ode
8^-13 = hopo = hopo omo
Decimal 9 is associated with octal 1/3 (ogi). Decimal 10 is
associated with octal 16 (hosu).
Colors are defined as intensities of their red, green, and
blue components. Names of colors are three letters long.
The first letter of all color names is u. The second
letter is a consonant, and the last letter is a vowel. (The
leading letter h is ignored because it is used in
spoken Ygyde only.) The red green blue table provides rules
that help memorize the color names listed in the color table.
The red green blue table uses three new terms: dominant color,
second color, and third color. The dominant color is the color
component (red, green, or blue) that has greater intensity
than the remaining color components. If blue is not the
dominant color, it is the third color. Red is the third color
only if green and blue (cyan) are the dominant colors.
