'''3L 2s<span class="Unicode">&lang;</span>3/2<span class="Unicode">&rang;</span>''' (sometimes called '''uranian'''), is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<span class="Unicode">&lang;</span>3/2<span class="Unicode">&rang;</span>" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating [[3L 2s]]. The name of the period interval is called the '''sesquitave''' (by analogy to the [[tritave]]). It is a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]] because it has one extra small step compared to the 3/2-equivalent version of diatonic ([[3L 1s (3/2-equivalent)|3L 1s<span class="Unicode">&lang;</span>3/2<span class="Unicode">&rang;</span>]]): for example, the Ionian diatonic fifth LLsL can be distorted to the Oberonan mode LsLLs.
| Equave = 3/2
 
| nLargeSteps = 3
The generator range is 234 to 280.8 cents, placing it in between the [[9/8|diatonic major second]] and the [[6/5|diatonic minor third]], usually representing a subminor third of some type (like [[7/6]]). The bright (chroma-positive) generator is, however, its fifth complement (468 to 421.2 cents).

'''3L 2s<3/2>''' (sometimes called '''uranian'''), is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<3/2>" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating [[3L 2s]].  


Because uranian is a fifth-repeating scale, each tone has a 3/2 perfect fifth above it. The scale has three major chords and two minor chords, all voiced so that the third of the triad is an octave higher, a tenth. Uranian also has two harmonic 7th chords.

[[Step ratio|Basic]] uranian is in [[8edf]], which is a very good fifth-based equal tuning similar to [[88cET]].

==Notation==
There are 2 main ways to notate the uranian scale. One method uses a simple sesquitave (fifth) repeating notation consisting of 5 naturals (A-E). Given that 1-7/4-5/2 is fifth-equivalent to a tone cluster of 1-10/9-7/6, it may be more convenient to notate uranian scales as repeating at the double sesquitave (major ninth), however it does make navigating the [[Generator|genchain]] harder. This way, 7/4 is its own pitch class, distinct from 7/6. Notating this way produces a major ninth which is the Aeolian mode of Annapolis[6L 4s]. Since there are exactly 10 naturals in double sesquitave notation, Greek numerals 1-10 may be used.

The most basic rank-2 temperament interpretation of uranian is semiwolf, which has 4:7:10 chords spelled <code>root-(p+1g)-(3p-2g)</code> (p = 3/2, g = the approximate 7/6). The name "semiwolf" comes from two [[7/6]] generators approximating a [[27/20]] wolf fourth.
The most basic rank-2 temperament interpretation of uranian is '''semiwolf''', which has 4:7:10 chords spelled <code>root-(p+1g)-(3p-2g)</code> (p = 3/2, g = the approximate 7/6). The name "semiwolf" comes from two [[7/6]] generators approximating a [[27/20]] wolf fourth. This is further extended to the 11-limit in two interpretations: '''semilupine''' where 2 major 2-mossteps (LL) equal 11/9, and '''hemilycan''' where 1 major and 2 minor 2-mossteps (sLs) equal 11/9. Basic 8edf fits both extensions.
