Inthar and cellularAutomaton have proposed mode names based on scientific names of various corvids. The names as of 5/2/23{{Clarify}} are as follows.
{{MOS modes|Mode Names=Cristatan;

Stellerian;

Nucifragan;

Note that the darkest two modes have no diatonic or [[armotonic]] fifth on the root in nonextreme semiquartal tunings.

Hard-of-basic tunings have [[Semifourth|semifourths]] as generators, between 1\5 (240¢) and 3\14 (257.14¢), where two of them create a diatonic 4th. The generator could be viewed as a 15/13, and the resulting "ultramajor" chords and "inframinor" triads could be viewed as approximating 10:13:15 and 26:30:39. See [[Arto and Tendo Theory]].

This range is notable for having many simple tunings that are close to being "eigentunings" (tunings that tune a certain JI interval exactly):

However, for the more complex intervals such as 22/19 and 28/27, you might want to use the exact eigentuning for the full effect, unless you specifically need an edo for modulatory purposes.

One important sub-range is given by stipulating that two semifourth generators must make a ''meantone'' fourth; i.e. that four fifths should approximate a [[5/4]] major third. This can be considered the [[19edo]] (4\19)-to-[[24edo]] (5\24) range, i.e. parahard semiquartal, which also contains [[43edo]] (9\43) and [[62edo]] (13\62). Parahard semiquartal can be given an RTT interpretation known as [[godzilla]].
