"Diasem" is a name given by [[User:ks26|groundfault]] (though others have discussed the scale before her). The name is a portmanteau of "diatonic" and "semiquartal" (or "[[Semaphore]]") since its step sizes are intermediate between that of [[diatonic]] (5L 2s) and [[semiquartal]] (5L 4s); it is also a pun based on the [[diesis]], which appears as the small step in the scale in the [[31edo]] and [[36edo]] tunings.
