Eridian Dictionary
62 words · chord-based language from Project Hail Mary
This is the complete vocabulary of the Eridian chord language as interpreted by this translator. Each Eridian word is a chord — a set of musical notes sounded together — rather than a spoken or written word. Browse the 62 entries below by category; every word links to a page describing its chord, the exact notes and frequencies, and how it is used. You can also type any sentence into the translator to hear words chained into Eridian speech.
