The terms '''arto''' (from the Latin verb [[Wiktionary: arto #Latin|''artāre'']], meaning "compress" or "contract") and '''tendo''' (from the Latin verb [[Wiktionary: tendo #Latin|''tendere'']], meaning "stretch" or "extend") are two terms that are encountered in various capacities in microtonal theory as either independent words or as prefixes. Regardless of how they are encountered, the term "arto" means "contracted" while the term "tendo" means "stretched". When used as independent words, they tend to refer to concepts related to [[Arto and Tendo Theory|arto and tendo theory]], however, when they are encountered as prefixes, they tend to describe the various types of neutral interval, or else, the various types of major or minor interval that are in the region bounded by the common [[3-limit|Pythagorean]] and [[5-limit|Ptolemaic]] varieties or tempered approximations thereof.
