A '''wakalix''' is a scale which is a [[Fokker block]] in multiple ways, so that it belongs to the more than one [[Fokker blocks#Arena|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.)
