This is along the lines of a new classification scheme that I was pondering over, although the one I was contemplating had nodes (using network software), which is perhaps more tree-like. It is interesting how different people have different ways of interpreting and classifying music. I like your idea, though. Some people might interpret "dull" in a negative way (like to mean boring). But, describing sound with words is not always easy. And, with a compass, you want to use words that give opposing senses at the poles. Interesting idea, indeed!

Even in English, one has words that have identical spelling, but differ in pronunciation and meaning. For example, "lead" pronounced rhyming with "feed" and meaning "to walk, drive, fly, sail, etc. in front of a group of people, vehicles, planes, ships, etc.", or "lead" pronounced rhyming with "fed" and meaning "a soft heavy grey metal used especially in the past for making pipes, covering roofs, and in paint".
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

English much more than German. Just think of the seven ways the letter combination "ough" can be pronounced: "oh" as in "though", "ow" as in "bough", "oo" as in "through", "aw" as in "thought", "ah-ff" as in "cough", "uh-ff" as in "enough" and "uh-pp" as in "hiccough".

When you see a German word it is pretty clear how to pronounce it once you know the rules of German pronunciation, unless it is a loanword from some other language like for example "beige", which is a loanword from French in German as well as in English. But not if you leave out the dots above the umlauts.
