tala

D2 has a very good layout engine (tala), but its use requires a paid license.

Shankar playing against a 9.5 beat tala, and the concept blew my mind.

In Iceland, rather than letting the English word 'computer' catch on, a linguist combined an old word for a witch (völva) with the word for number (tala) to come up with 'tölva' which is now the word for computer.

It is true that many forms of african-derived music in the US will shift the precise position of beats to create swing/syncopation/dilla-time, but this is generally done on a per-note basis, not on a per-cycle basis as happens with a half-beat tala.

One of my favorite tala is called "Sardha Roopak", and it's a cycle of 10.5 beats which is trippy.

You want them to call it “telo pi lape ala” but that’s shit so they’ll call it tala or lapela or something.

But my favorite neologism for "computer" is probably the Icelandic tölva, a portmanteau of the words tala (number) and völva (a prophetess in Norse mythology).

“As soon as it’s 12 months, it plateaus,” says study co-author Tala Ballouz, an epidemiologist at the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

In Icelandic, computer is "tölva" which is a combination of "tala" meaning "number" and "völva" meaning "oracle".
