The half-cubic limit for a prime limit is defined to be the set of all intervals within a certain prime limit whose numerators and denominators both cannot contain more than two non-2 prime factors, where all intervals are octave-reduced. In this way, it is analogous to the reduced 1-cubic limit but is significantly more restricted, which explains the reason for its naming as the half-cubic limit.

The monzos of such intervals must take the form where one prime factor can have up to a maximum of 2, the other prime factor can have up to a maximum of -2, and all other non-2 primes are 0s.

Here is the set of all intervals in the 3-half-cubic limit.

Interval Threes Twos
1/1 0 0
3/2 1 -1
4/3 -1 2
9/8 2 -3
16/9 -2 4

Here is the set of all intervals in the 5-half-cubic limit.

Interval Fives Threes Twos
1/1 0 0 0
3/2 0 1 -1
4/3 0 -1 2
5/4 1 0 -2
8/5 -1 0 3
5/3 1 -1 0
6/5 -1 1 1
9/8 0 2 -3
16/9 0 -2 4
9/5 -1 2 0
10/9 1 -2 1
15/8 1 1 -3
16/15 -1 -1 4
25/16 2 0 -4
32/25 -2 0 5
25/24 2 -1 -3
48/25 -2 1 4
25/18 2 -2 -1
36/25 -2 2 2
