'''Ditave''' is an alternative name for the interval 2/1, which was proposed to neutralize the terminology against the predominance of ~~7-tone~~ scales. The name is ~~derived from~~ the numeral prefix ''δι''- (''di-'', Greek for "two") in analogy to "[[tritave]]" (3/1).

'''Ditave''' is an alternative name for the interval 2/1, which was proposed to neutralize the terminology against the predominance of [[heptatonic]] scales. The name is a contraction of the numeral prefix ''δι''- (''di-'', Greek for "two") and ''octave'', in analogy to "[[tritave]]" (3/1).

'''Duple''' is a proposed term which relates itself to the ancient Greek concept of [[harmonic|multiples]]. It also fixes the problem of using part of the word ''octave''.

'''Diapason''' is another term also sometimes applied to 2/1. It is also of Greek origin, but not related to the number two; instead it is formed from ''διά'' (''dia'') + ''πασων'' (''pason''), meaning something like "through all the notes".
