This is cool too. I know I'll have to come up with a lot of words too. I
know Nyenya'a music is dodecaphonic and quintshifting. Generally you will
find, in a native Nyenya'a musical piece, 12 triplets, based on the 12
different notes, each one once, before the 12 triplets are shifted up,
then back to root, then down, then back to root again.
