	A '''hobbit''', or '''hobbit scale''', is a generalization of [[mos scale]] for arbitrary [[regular temperament]]s which is a sort of cousin to [[dwarf\|dwarf scales]]; examples may be found on the [[Scalesmith]] page. The idea is that mos scales give us a means of contructing scales for a [[rank-2 temperament]] which gives priority to the intervals of least complexity in that temperament, and so makes efficient use of it; a hobbit does the same in higher ranks, and so using them is one way to make higher ranks, including especially the interesting rank-3 case, accessible for musical purposes.
