Estimating
“it is assessed”
The censor's reckoning — scope weighed line by line, deliverable by deliverable, before a number leaves the building.

The grammar
Every module is a real Latin third-person passive ending in -tur — it is done. Not a prefix bolted onto an English noun, and not a coinage: the ending is a working piece of grammar that states what the tool does to the record. Orditur lays the warp; each module below is a verb crossing it.
The lockup
Catenatur
Stem in foreground, ultima in accent. The stem carries the meaning; the accent carries the family. Never break the word with a space, hyphen or case change.
The reading
Each name is paired with a plain descriptor on first use in any interface — Catenatur · Schedule. The Latin earns recognition; the descriptor does the teaching. Drop the descriptor only once the user is inside the module.
The exception
Textor is an agent noun, not a passive. A -tur form names a process; the assistant is a someone you address by name. One exception, stated openly, is a rule — two would be a mess.

Proposals & documents
“it is folded”
The fold — priced scope folded into a document that goes out the door under a letterhead.

Spreadsheet
“it is reckoned together”
Computare — to reckon up, com- + putare, to settle an account together. Formulas, structured tables and pivots bound to live project data rather than a stale export.
computatur.com
CPM scheduler
“it is chained”
Catena — the chain. Every relationship linked into a network and resolved to a single critical path: the longest chain in the job.

Resources & levelling
“it is weighed”
Pondus — weight; ponderare, to weigh in the hand. Crew and capacity weighed against demand, then levelled across the whole portfolio instead of one job at a time.

Drawings & diagrams
“it is shaped; it is drawn out”
Figurare — to give a thing its figure. The drawing surface for logic sketches, flows and marked-up layouts.
figuratur.com
Pixel studio
“it is brought to light; it is made to shine”
Lustrare — to light up, to go over a thing whole, to bring it to a finish. Layers, masks, brushes and grading: the picture worked until it reads.
lustratur.com
Drafting board
“it is set out in line”
Delineare — to mark out in lines, to set a thing down exactly. Coordinate entry, object snaps, layers with pen weights, true scale and associative dimensions: the drawing measured rather than sketched, and a DXF that goes out and comes back.
delineatur.com
3D studio
“it is carved”
Sculpere — to carve, to cut a form out of matter. Geometry, physically based materials, a lighting rig, a real focal length and a render: the work seen in volume before it is built.
sculpatur.com
Inbound mail
“it is received”
Accipere — to receive, to take in. Mail stops being an inbox: every message lands against the project, activity or document it concerns, threads with its replies, and leaves as a filed record or an activity in the schedule.

Time & expense
“it is measured”
Metiri — to measure out. Hours booked and money spent measured against the plan, approved once, then carried into cost, earned value and the invoice.
metitur.com
Motion
“it is set beating”
Pulsare — to beat, to drive. One playhead the whole suite scrubs against: slides, drawings, blocks and bars all move on the same clock, and the same pure curves render live, on the timeline and in the export.
pulsatur.com
Feed
“it is announced”
Nuntiare — to announce, to report the news. The one surface that is not addressed to anybody: work reported outward to whoever is listening, drawn off the live record so a milestone or a render arrives already true.
nuntiatur.com
Presentations
“it is shown”
Monstrare — to show. Decks whose numbers, milestones and pricing are read live off the record, so what is shown in the room is what is true in the system.
monstratur.com
Messaging
“it is sent”
Channels, threads and direct messages bound to the record they discuss — never floating beside it.
mittitur.com
Planner, calendar & meetings
“it is called together”
Convocatur — the day is called together. Work hours, personal hours and the rooms people meet in, on one honest surface.
convocatur.com
Job register
“it is entered on the record”
Notare — to mark down. Every job and every number entered in one continuous roll that never restarts and never loses a year.

Reporting & analytics
“it is counted”
Earned value, variance and portfolio health counted from the same record the work is done in.

Finder & file explorer
“it is found”
Reperire — to find, to come upon. One sift across every record in the workspace: projects, documents, sheets, activities, people. The way back into the other threads.

AI assistant
“the weaver”
The one exception. An agent noun, not a passive — Textor is a someone you address, working the whole record with you.

Clip rules
A clip is always the stem with the -tur struck off — nothing shorter. Three modules were renamed so that every stem in the suite could carry its own weight, and the list below is now complete: eleven clips, no exceptions. A clip is spoken shorthand, not a second brand — it may appear in conversation, shortcuts and tab labels, never in a wordmark, a URL, a legal line or a first mention.
Trade mark notice. The names of the Orditur modules are Censetur, Plicatur, Computatur, Catenatur, Ponderatur, Figuratur, Lustratur, Mittitur, Convocatur, Notatur, Numeratur, Monstratur, Reperitur and Textor. Shortened forms used in this product and in conversation are informal references to those names and are not claimed as separate marks.
Cense
May clipCensetur · Estimating
Two hard syllables. The census misread lands on the actual root, and the sensei echo reads as authority — both misreads flatter the word.
Plica
May clipPlicatur · Proposals
No English collision, clean consonants, unmistakably ours. Pronounced PLEE-ka — never PLIH-ka.
Mitti
May clipMittitur · Messaging
Short, percussive and already close to transmit. The strongest clip in the set.
Catena
May clipCatenatur · Schedule
The reason the module was renamed from Nectitur. Catena is the chain itself — catenary, concatenate — where Necti only gestured at connect.
Computa
May clipComputatur · Spreadsheet
The reason the module was renamed from Sumitur. Computa reads correctly on sight in every accent, where Sumi split between SOO-mee and soo-MEE and read Japanese out of context.
Figura
May clipFiguratur · Drawings
The reason the module was renamed from Ducitur. Figura is already an English word for a drawn shape, so the clip teaches itself — where Duci invited an unfortunate homophone.
Numera
May clipNumeratur · Reporting
Numeral, enumerate, numerate — the stem is already English and already means counting. The cleanest clip in the set.
Nota
May clipNotatur · Job register
The reason the module was renamed from Habetur. Nota carries note, notation and notary, so the clip reads as the record it names — where Habe read as nothing at all.
Pondera
May clipPonderatur · Resources
The reason the module was renamed from Pensitur. Pondera carries ponder and preponderance — weight, plainly — where Pensi said nothing on its own.
Reperi
May clipReperitur · Finder
Repertoire, repertory — the stem already carries the sense of a found and kept set. Two clean syllables, no English collision, and the act is unambiguous: find.
Convoca
May clipConvocatur · Planner, calendar & meetings
From convocare, to call together — the one verb that covers days, blocks, invitees and the room itself. Reads on sight in English and lands unchanged in Spanish (convocar). Replaces Geri, which had to be taught rather than read.
Name treatment trials
Each row is the Lustratur studio bar at working size — identical title, identical tool row. Only the identifier at the left changes, so the trade shows up as chrome width rather than as an argument.
A · oLustra
Coinable, unownable stem
The prefix makes the clip itself a coinage, which is the one thing the bare clip can never be — nobody else owns oLustra. It also reads as a product name rather than a Latin stem, so the suite's internal grammar goes quiet: oLustra, oFigura and oCatena look like a family of apps, not conjugations of one system.
B · O’Lustra
Same sound, no distance
The apostrophe adds appearance without adding difference: sound, look and meaning all still resolve to Lustra, which is exactly the test a confusion analysis applies. It also breaks the address — there is no o’lustra.com — so the written mark and the domain drift apart, and it imports a Gaelic patronymic into an otherwise Latin set.
C · Orditur Lustra
House mark carries the weight
The house mark does the ownership work the prefix was reaching for, and it does it in the tier where trade marks actually live. Lustratur stays the registered name, Orditur is the source, Lustra is what anyone says out loud. Costs one hairline of chrome and no invented spelling.
Marks at working size
No mark is a recoloured house symbol. Each is drawn from what the verb physically does — a beam that weighs, a sheet that folds, nodes that bind, a line that is led — on one 24-grid with a shared 1.6 / 2.2 stroke rhythm so they read as a set at 16px.
Lexicon
Every root below is a real dictionary entry — no invented etymologies. Stated plainly, so nobody has to guess at them.
/OR-dih-tur/
Latin ordior — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is begun; the warp is laid
The house, and projects.
A weaver ordits a loom: lays the warp before a single row is woven. Every job in the house starts on the same warp.
/or-DIH-trix/
Latin ordior — feminine agent noun
she who lays the warp
Reserved. Redirects to the house.
A genuine sibling form of Orditur, not a coinage. Held so nobody else takes the grammar.
/ken-SAY-tur/
Latin censere — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is assessed
Estimating.
The root of census. Scope assessed line by line to a defensible number, not a guess dressed as one.
/plee-KAH-tur/
Latin plicare — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is folded
Proposals and documents.
To fold a sheet is to make a document of it. Priced scope folded into something that can be signed. Say PLEE-ka, never PLIH-ka. Unrelated to pleura.
/com-poo-TAH-tur/
Latin computare — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is reckoned up
The spreadsheet.
Com- + putare: to settle an account together. The true Latin ancestor of compute and count. Chosen over Sumitur because the stem Computa reads correctly on sight where Sumi splits between SOO-mee and soo-MEE.
/ca-teh-NAH-tur/
Latin catenare — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is chained
The CPM scheduler.
Catena is the chain — the root behind catenary and concatenate. A critical path is literally the longest chain in the job. Chosen over Nectitur: same meaning, a stem that stands alone.
/pon-deh-RAH-tur/
Latin ponderare — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is weighed
Resources, capacity and levelling.
Pondus is weight; ponderare is to weigh a thing in the hand — the root of ponder and preponderance. Crew and capacity weighed against demand across the portfolio. Chosen over Pensitur for the stem Pondera.
/fig-oo-RAH-tur/
Latin figurare — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is shaped; it is given figure
Drawings and diagrams.
Figura is the shape a thing is drawn into — the root behind figure, configure and disfigure. Chosen over Ducitur because the stem Figura stands alone cleanly where Duci does not.
/MIT-tih-tur/
Latin mittere — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is sent
Messaging.
The root behind mission, missive and transmit. Threads bound to the record they discuss, not floating beside it.
/con-vo-CAH-tur/
Latin convocare — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is called together; it is convened
The planner, calendar and meetings.
Convocatur — the day is called together. Work hours, personal hours and the rooms people meet in on one surface. Meetings are not a separate module: a meeting is a block with invitees, and the month grid is Convocatur zoomed out. Spanish convocar carries the same sense unchanged.
/no-TAH-tur/
Latin notare — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is marked down; it is entered on the record
The job register.
Notare is the root behind note, notation and notary — to set a thing down so it counts. Chosen over Habetur because the stem Nota stands alone as plain English where Habe does not.
/noo-meh-RAH-tur/
Latin numerare — verb, 3rd person singular passive
it is counted
Reporting and analytics.
Earned value, variance and portfolio health counted from the same record the work is done in.
/TEX-tor/
Latin textor — noun, agent of texere, to weave
the weaver
The cross-functional assistant.
The one name that breaks the -tur rule, on purpose. A passive describes a process; an assistant is a someone you address. Same root as text — a text is a thing woven.
Ten verbs, one weaver, one record. Every module reads and writes the same project.
