A word a day week
dore
DO-re · two spoken or sung notes · 1–2
- I
- me
- we
Dore is first person without a compulsory headcount: context and number marking decide whether it is I, me, or we.
Seven-note spelling
Say it, play it, flash it
- do1 · red
- re2 · orange
The binary sequence do–re is the first-person pronoun, covering subject and object uses and, in the dictionary's broad gloss, singular or plural reference.
Gajewski’s grammar also shows a three-line staff and a special shorthand. Here, the notes appear on a modern treble clef. The C-major pitches are a playback choice; Solresol does not require absolute pitch.
Tiny sentence
Dore sidofa.
I begin
“I begin.”
This is the grammar's basic verb example, expanded from its abbreviated d-r / s-d-f note spelling.
There is a short pause between words. The C-major pitches are a playback choice.
Receipts
Sources and cautions
Gajewski explicitly uses this pattern to show that Solresol verbs keep one form rather than agreeing with the subject.
