The term ''flought'' was coined by Inthar by evolving the Old English past participle ''(ġe)flohten'' of the verb ''fleohtan'' 'to weave; to plait' into a hypothetical Modern English word.

Given an E-equivalent scale, scale s, offsets between 0 and min({step sizes in s}) (equivalently, between max{len(s)-1-steps in s} and E) are called ''small''. Small offsets are significant because | Given an E-equivalent scale, scale s, offsets between 0 and min({step sizes in s}) (equivalently, between max{len(s)-1-steps in s} and E) are called ''small''. Small offsets are significant because thw resulting flought scale copies the underlying scale structure: if s is a circular word w(a1, a2, ..., an) then Fl(s; δ) uses the same circular word but with δ followed by the difference between δ and every step size in w, namely w(δ b1, δ b2, ..., δ bn) where bi = ai - δ. | ||
