Back in the 90s Sesame Street did a show about Big Bird called Roy - who was fed up with being called Big Bird ... because he was a big bird ... he chose the name Roy.
It tanked.
Why did it tank? Three year olds don't understand that Big Bird and big bird are two different things, they thought Big Bird wanted to be a person and it was distressing to them.
As adults we should know that words have domains and contexts.
Personally I think we need fewer words and more thoughts, ideas and actions being un-named - unshared except through experience.
The internet has fooled a lot of people into thinking that knowing a word is sufficient and enables that person as much as a person who's experienced a thing.
Ever known someone who's not got a grasp of phonetics and says stuff comically wrong with utmost conviction? Turning the diurnal in dyearnall? Words enable conceit and that's not great for learning.
Decimation was the punishment a Roman Legion suffered if it lost in battle, the men were lined up and every tenth man was killed by his companions. If a Roman army lost, automatically, decimation was it's fate. If a Roman soldier returned and told someone "we were decimated" it means much much more than "we were defeated". Look how the impact of that word has died. He killed one of his own unit - think about it... someone unfamiliar wouldn't be told the full detail "well we lost the battle and afterwards we were forced to kill our friend or we'd all be killed".
I could dig out the research if you're interested, if you really must know.
Six is the norm. So Octave is the 8th note - considered the same as the root note - leaving 6 other notes.
