Pairwise well-formed (PWF) scales, another generalization of WF scales into rank-3, are a subset of product words.
Pairwise well-formed (PWF) scales, another generalization of WF scales into rank-3, are a subset of MOS pattern products.


If equating any pair of step sizes (tempering out their difference, if we involve mappings) of a rank-3 scale leads to 3 WF scales, the rank-3 scale is ''pairwise well-formed (PWF).''

A similar generalization, a larger subset of product words, and a superset of PWF scales are ''pairwise DE'' (PDE) scales, defined for rank-3 scales such that equating any pair of steps (tempering out their difference, if we involve mappings), leads to a DE scale, or equivalently, an MOS scale. We may also call these ''pairwise MOS'' (PMOS) scales.

Pairwise DE scales have MV3. Pairwise DE scales that are not PWF are not SV3; and at least one of the DE scales / MOS scales found by equating a pair of steps of such scales is a multi-MOS, which is DE / MV2, but does not demonstrate Myhill's property.
