-The '''Kartvelian (heptatonic) scale''' is the [[wikipedia:Music_of_Georgia_(country)#Scales_and_tuning_system|traditional scale of Georgian folk music]], Musicologically, it is a candidate for the prototypical [[well temperament]], being an alternating pattern of [[4edf]] and [[3ed4/3]].

+The '''Kartvelian (heptatonic) scale''' is a modern interpretation of the traditional scale of [[Music of Georgia|Georgian folk music]].
+Note that this is just one possible interpretation; there is no academic consensus on the underlying scale of Georgian vocal music.
+The scale is an alternating pattern of [[4edf]] and [[3ed4/3]], joined together and closing at the octave. As a result, it can be considered an [[equiheptatonic]] scale, or a [[well temperament]] of [[7edo]], with a hardness of about 1.05. It can also be considered a [[MODMOS]] of a form of [[4L 3s]] generated by a subneutral third of 341.5{{c}} with the [[ploidacot]] signature of 8-sheared dodecacot; [[28/23]] is a good interpretation of this [[generator]] in [[EDO]]s that contain a Kartvelian scale, such as [[123edo]] or [[130edo]].
+The term ''Kartvelian scale'', referring to the family of [[Wikipedia:Kartvelian languages|Kartvelian languages]] (of which the [[wikipedia:Georgian language|Georgian language]] is the main representative), seems to have been coined by [[User:Moremajorthanmajor|Moremajorthanmajor]].
+Moremajorthanmajor has also generalized the Kartvelian scale into a whole family of scales, the [[Kartvelian scales]].
