A wakalix is a scale which is a Fokker block in multiple ways, so that it belongs to more than one Fokker arena. In just intonation, a Fokker block is a JI scale in a JI group of rank r, such that there are r − 1 rank-two temperaments which temper it to a MOS. If there are more than r − 1 such temperaments, we have a wakalix, if there are more than r, it is a superwakalix; some of both kinds are cataloged below. An ordinary wakalix, which generates a rank-r JI group and has exactly r different rank two temperaments tempering it to a MOS, is sometimes called an r-wakalix (triple wakalix, quadruple wakalix, etc.)
