Herman,

I'm so pleased to see you adressing the issue of solmisation! As
I'm sure you know, Ellis devoted a sginificant part of his
appendices to Helmholtz to this topic, and his and others'
experience in using it to teach non-musicians, including children,
to sing. And when a new thematic idea suggests itself to me when
I'm out walking, I often scribble it down in tonic solfa rather than
as staff notation. It would be a real help to use a consistent set
of names, such as you propose, for this purpose.

I agree there's a problem with "ti" and "si" between languages. But
the advantage of most of the syllables of the tonic sol-fa is that
they are open; in fact, in English we always use "So[h]" rather
than "Sol". So I would be loath to add "Sul", "Sal" and so on.

Instead, why not simply choose another singable initial consonant,
so that the vowel patterns become entirely regular?

For example, if the diatonic scale were sung as -
do - re - mi - fa - so - la - hi

then the altered tones using the five vowels would have no existing
connotations to cause confusion.

Yahya
