==== Tritave ====
In a Mode '''2<sup>-1'''</sup> (=0.5) overtone scale the first interval above the fundamental is the [[Tritave|tritave]] (3/1, Fig.6), which substitutes the [[Octave|octave]] (2/1), the first interval in the Mode 1 overtone scale. Incrementing ''m'' in steps of 1, we find only odd harmonics (e.g. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) and no octaves in this fractional mode of the overtone scale.
