-'''5ado''' is the [[ADO|arithmetic equal division of the octave]] into five parts of 1/5 each. As 5 is a small odd number, this ADO does not contain a perfect fifth or any reasonable approximation to it, an it is relatively poor for its size at creating traditional tonal music compared to [[4ado]] and [[6ado]].
+'''5ado''' ([[ADO|arithmetic division of the octave]]), or '''5-ODO''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into five parts of 1/5 each. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 5 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone_scale#Over-n_scales|Over-5]] scale. As 5 is a small odd number, this ADO does not contain a perfect fifth or any reasonable approximation to it, an it is relatively poor for its size at creating traditional tonal music compared to [[4ado]] and [[6ado]].
