Thing / Concept · Eridian chord · 숫자, 수

In the Eridian chord language from Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary, the concept number (숫자, 수) is spoken as a 3-note chord rather than spelled out letter by letter. Eridians communicate by sounding musical notes simultaneously, so “number” is heard as D3, A3, D4, over 0.5 seconds.
