The traditional names of the eight principal winds are: <ul><li>(N) – Tramontana</li> <li>(NE) – Greco (or <a href="/wiki/Bora_(wind)" title="Bora (wind)">Bora</a> in some Venetian sources)</li> <li>(E) – Levante (sometimes Oriente)</li> <li>(SE) – Scirocco (or Exaloc in Catalan)</li> <li>(S) – Ostro (or Mezzogiorno in Venetian)</li> <li>(SW) – Libeccio (or Garbino, Eissalot in Provençal)</li> <li>(W) – Ponente (or Zephyrus in Greek)</li> <li>(NW) – Maestro (or Mistral in Provençal)</li></ul> Local spelling variations are far more numerous than listed, e.g. Tramutana, Gregale, Grecho, Sirocco, Xaloc, Lebeg, Libezo, Leveche, Mezzodi, Migjorn, Magistro, Mestre, etc. Traditional compass roses will typically have the initials T, G, L, S, O, L, P, and M on the main points. Portolan charts also colour-coded the compass winds: black for the eight principal winds, green for the eight half-winds, and red for the sixteen quarter-winds. Each half-wind name is simply a combination of the two principal winds that it bisects, with the shortest name usually placed first, for example: NNE is "Greco-Tramontana"; ENE is "Greco-Levante"; SSE is "Ostro-Scirocco", etc. The quarter winds are expressed with an Italian phrase, "Quarto di X verso Y" (<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1177148991">.mw-parser-output .IPA-label-small{font-size:85%}.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-small{font-size:100%}</style>pronounced <a href="/wiki/Help:IPA/Italian" title="Help:IPA/Italian">[ˈkwarto di X ˈvɛrso Y]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> one quarter from X towards Y), or "X al Y" (X to Y) or "X per Y" (X by Y). There are no irregularities to trip over; the closest principal wind always comes first, the more distant one second, for example: north-by-east is "Quarto di Tramontana verso Greco"; and northeast-by-north is "Quarto di Greco verso Tramontana". The table below shows how the 32 compass points are named. Each point has an angular range of <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027">11+1⁄4 degrees where the <a href="/wiki/Azimuth" title="Azimuth">azimuth</a>
