The Kartvelian (heptatonic) scale is a modern interpretation of the traditional scale of 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 ¢ with the ploidacot signature of 8-sheared dodecacot; 28/23 is a good interpretation of this generator in EDOs that contain a Kartvelian scale, such as 123edo or 130edo.
The term Kartvelian scale, referring to the family of Kartvelian languages (of which the Georgian language is the main representative), seems to have been coined by Moremajorthanmajor.
Moremajorthanmajor has also generalized the Kartvelian scale into a whole family of scales, the Kartvelian scales.
