Both the "semi-nth" names and the unique Greek-derived names above are less intuitive than they could be and require some amount of memorization. For this reason, Inthar currently proposes the following terms that explicitly name the diatonic interval categories that the interseptimals fall between: | Both the "semi-nth" names and the unique Greek-derived names above are less intuitive than they could be and require some amount of memorization.

These names are generalized by analogous names for [[interordinal]]s in other mosses. | These names are generalized by analogous names for [[interordinal]]s in other mosses. | ||

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. In a pentatonic framework, there are 5 categories of intervals in the octave rather than 7, into which interseptimals fit much more cleanly: | 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.
