A '''breuddwyd scale'''{{idiosyncratic}} (''pronounced "braid wood"'') is any [[polymicrotonal]] scale which combines four scales, the first scale with 5 tones per [[equave]], the second with 11, the third with 13 and the fourth with 31.
A '''breuddwyd scale'''{{idiosyncratic}} (''pronounced "braid wood"'') is any [[polymicrotonal]] scale which combines four scales, the first scale with 5 tones per [[equave]], the second with 11, the third with 13 and the fourth with 31.

A '''sonhar tuning'''{{idiosyncratic}} (''pronounced "sonyar"'') is any scale or [[temperament]] which uses or approximates the JI [[subgroup]] 5.11.13.31.

A '''wijzerplaat scale'''{{idiosyncratic}} (''pronounced "why zher platt"'') is any scale which is built by combining a [[MOS scale]] generated by 5\31, a MOS scale generated by 11\31, and a MOS scale generated by 13\31. (''Where n\31 is n steps of [[31edo]] or another 31-tone [[equal tuning]]''.)
A '''wijzerplaat scale'''{{idiosyncratic}} (''pronounced "why, ser as in deserve, plat as in platypus"'') is any scale which is built by combining a scale generated by 5\31, a scale generated by 11\31, and a scale generated by 13\31. (''Where n\31 is n steps of [[31edo]] or another 31-tone [[equal tuning]]''.) Often but not always the three scales are [[MOS scale]]s.

== Wijzerplaat scales ==
== Wijzerplaat scales ==
All of these scales are octave-repeating subsets of [[31edo]]. They are tempered by definition. Sometimes multiple MOSes may generate the same tone, which is why when you combine an x-tone, y-tone and z-tone MOS, the total number of tones/octave may still be less than (x+y+z).

This list is not exhaustive. There are many other possible wijzerplaat scales.
