[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''antidiatonic''' for this scale, adopted from the common use of the term to refer to diatonic ([[5L 2s]]) but with the large and small steps switched.

Names for this scale's intervals are the same as that as diatonic intervals (prefixed with pel- to distinguish them from diatonic intervals), but with the harmonic qualities of diatonic switched: major and minor are switched, as are augmented and diminished.{{MOS intervals|Interval Notation=ordinals|MOS Prefix=pel}}

The most common way of notating this scale, particularly when working with mavila temperament, is to use the same note names and accidentals as that of diatonic (CDEFGAB, #, and b), but read as antidiatonic instead. There are, however, two ways of notating accidentals:
