The pronunciation guide uses the ARPABET phonetic system—the same system used in speech recognition and text-to-speech applications.

Vowel Examples:
AE1 = cat, bat
EH1 = bed, head
IY1 = see, me
OW1 = go, boat
UW1 = boot, do
Stress Numbers:
0 = no stress (unstressed)
1 = primary stress (loud)
2 = secondary stress (medium)
Example:
AH0 TH IY1 N AH0
= a-THEE-na (Athena)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.

Quick Definition

Charts based on multiplied aspects (e.g., 5th harmonic for quintiles), revealing subtle patterns. Poets employ harmonics for resonant overtones in soul's symphony.

Detailed Definition
Harmonic analysis, from John Addey, unveils vibrational layers. In poetry, they harmonize in musical metaphors like Swinburne's. Literary resonance symbolizes accord. The term's vibrational chord poeticizes subtlety, where harmonics amplify underlying tunes, enhancing explorations of inner music and the polyphonic depths of astrological expression.
Example
Example in poetry:
In Pythagorean harmony by Shelley: "Harmonic spheres resound in the west wind's breath."; Blake hears harmonic contraries: "Harmonic discord in the tiger's fearful symmetry."; Modern poet Yusef Komunyakaa harmonics jazz: "Harmonic nodes vibrate in the trumpet's blue cry."; In Rilke's sonnets, harmonic lyre: "Orpheus strikes the harmonic chord of loss and praise."; Li-Young Lee harmonics family: "The bowl's harmonic rim sings the rice's quiet steam."
Additional Notes
Harmonic charts multiply angles (e.g., 7th for septiles); reveal soul patterns. In poetry, harmonics tune subtleties—tip: 9th for creativity; employs subtle patterns.
