=== Decimal ordinal names ===

CompactStar has proposed names using decimal ordinals to indicate how these fall between diatonic categories:

* semifourth/chthonic = 2.5th

* semifourth/chthonic = 2.5th (probably pronounced "two point fifth")

* semisixth/naiadic = 3.5th

* semitenth/cocytic = 5.5th

Line 78:

=== Within a pentatonic framework ===

A pentatonic framework, as elucidated in Kite Giedraitis's [http://www.tallkite.com/AlternativeTunings.html Alternative Tuning guide], is far more amenable to interseptimal intervals than the traditional Western heptatonic framework.

A pentatonic framework, as elucidated in Kite Giedraitis's [http://www.tallkite.com/AlternativeTunings.html Alternative Tuning guide], is far more amenable to interseptimal intervals than the traditional Western heptatonic framework. Such a framework is also discussed on the page [[Pentatonic Functional Just System]].

Line 216:

Interseptimal intervals are now easily named. However there are now hard-to-name "interpental" intervals which would be neutral intervals in the heptatonic framework, containing such ratios as 12/11, 11/9, etc. This is because interseptimal intervals are the neutral intervals with respect to the parent [[mos]] [[2L 3s]] of the diatonic mos [[5L 2s]].

So composing in a pentatonic framework may allow interseptimal intervals to play much more pivotal roles than usual.

Thus composing in a pentatonic framework may allow interseptimal intervals to play much more pivotal roles than usual.
