Onomatopoetic. It means that the word used to describe something has a sound reminiscent of the thing itself. For example, the Chinese word for "cat" is "miao," which is the sound a cat makes.

Table tennis or ping pong. Which is the original name of the game?
Table tennis is the original name of the game. It turns out (as you may have guessed) that "whiff-whaff" and "ping-pong" were names given to the game - which was already being played - because of the sound of the paddle striking the ball. And just so you know, the game was slightly different then, and the equipment was absolutely nothing like what we use currently. But the essentials were in place when it was called table tennis. The above is rubbish, as originally the game was named "Gossama" by its inventor James Gibb (c1889), it was manufactured by Jaques & Son and marketed by Hamley Bros in 1898. It was slow to catch on until its name was changed to the onamatopoeic Ping Pong in 1901, when it became the first Edwardian craze.
How many notes are contained in one octave?
For the diatonic scales, there are 7 different notes, but 8 if you count the upper octave, whatever it happens to be. This is independent of the color of the keys, since the major scale can start on any of the 12 distinct notes/keys on the keyboard.C D E F G A B C1 2 3 4 5 6 7There are (as noted in the discussion) 12 distinct notes in a chromatic octave of the standard western scale, 13 if you count the lower and upper octave notes. This arrangement represents a compromise arrived at over centuries, and need for the compromise stems basically from the fact that when using a circle of fourths and fifths to tune notes, it is physically impossible to tune every note as a perfect interval. Several different tuning systems have been developed over the years, but western musics have generally settled on the equaltemperament made popular by Bach._______________________________________________________________New Answer By 7D8f Octavian:If you arranged the TEN NATURAL fingers in two rows they would look thus:______L Index_____L Ring_____R Little____R MiddleL Thumb____L Middle____L Little____R Ring_____R Index_____R ThumbLeft little finger is in the LOWER rowRight little finger is in the UPPER rowIf you call the little finger as DEVIL there are TWO DEVILS !You call the lower row fingers as "NATURALS"and the UPPER ROW fingers as "ACCIDENTALS"!WONDERFUL, MOST 'SCIENTIFIC', "OCCIDENTALS" YOU ARE !!!If you arranged the FOURTEEN NATURAL notes in two rows they would be :____d_____e_____f_____g_____a_____bC1____D_____E_____F_____G_____A_____B_____C2If you call the seventh note as DEVIL, there are TWO DEVILSFor, the seventh note leftwards from the right C2 is g ( diminished fifth){C1____D____E____F } is the DIATONIC (WHITE) TRITONE 45/32Conversely{ C2____b____a____g }is the CHROMATIC (BLACK) TRITONE 64/452 divided by 64/45 is 45/32 and 2 divided by 45/32 is 64/45If you call 45/32 as devil 64/45 is EQUALLY DEVIL, too !In Indian music both of them are DIVINES45/32 is called the KALYANI Madhyama and64/45 is called the VARALI MadhyamaThe Indians learnt from your KEYBOARD (HARMONIUM)But you have maimed and mangled your keyboard andyour Christian music and now are learning from the Indian "Karnatic" musicianswho are the products ofTAMIL ONAMATOPOEIC MONOSYLLABLES ( Sa-Ri-Ga-Ma-Pa-Dha-Ni)and the western twelve note keyboard and fretboardbut will store their every new knowledge in the "Bharata's Natya Sastra"and throw it back in time as many millenniums as possibleN.B. : Tritone is NOT EQUILATERAL AS (9/8__9/8__9/8)IT IS ISOSCELES : ( 9/8__10/9__9/8 )P.S.
