The only other widely used MOS scale is [[2L 3s]]. Among its 5 modes are the major pentatonic scale (ssLsL) and the minor pentatonic scale (LssLs).  
Other MOS scales include [[2L 3s]], where among its 5 modes are the major pentatonic scale (ssLsL) and the minor pentatonic scale (LssLs), and less commonly [[4L 4s]], also known as the octatonic scale in 12edo, which alternates between large and small steps and comes in two modes (LsLsLsLs and sLsLsLsL).
