In xenharmonic music theory, words are often used to represent an abstract scale template with some specified pattern of step sizes, such as when working with [[MOS]] scales. Two words that are rotations of one another, such as &quot;aabaaab&quot; and &quot;abaaaba&quot;, are said to be &#039;&#039;conjugate&#039;&#039;, and an equivalence class of words under conjugacy is termed a &#039;&#039;&#039;circular word&#039;&#039;&#039; or a &#039;&#039;&#039;necklace&#039;&#039;&#039;. A word is &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&#039;&lt;/del&gt;&#039;&#039;primitive&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&#039;&lt;/del&gt;&#039;&#039; if it is not a non-trivial power of a shorter word.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;A &#039;&#039;&#039;word&#039;&#039;&#039;, in mathematical terminology, is a finite or infinite sequence of letters from some finite alphabet, such as &quot;aabaaab&quot; or &quot;LLsLLLs.&quot; The mathematical field of combinatorics on words often studies words that are infinite in one or both directions.

For example, the word &amp;quot;aabaaab&amp;quot; can be thought of as representing a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;scale template&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; where &amp;quot;a&amp;quot; represents one kind of step, and &amp;quot;b&amp;quot; represents a different kind of step. It is often useful to specify the relative sizes of the steps as well, leading to the two related words &amp;quot;LLsLLLs&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ssLsssL,&amp;quot; where L means &amp;quot;large&amp;quot; and s means &amp;quot;small.&amp;quot; Of these, (assuming octave equivalence) LLsLLLs corresponds to the diatonic scale, and ssLsssL to the anti-diatonic scale; aabaaab can be thought of a more generic word incorporating both into a single template.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Words may be used to represent the step pattern of a [[periodic scale]], in which case the distinction between words and necklaces may be elided when not referring to a specific mode of the scale.
