# If ''n'' is odd, ''s'' is of the form ''a'''''x''' ''b'''''y''' ''b'''''z''' for some permutation {{nowrap|('''x''', '''y''', '''z''')}} of {{nowrap|('''L''', '''M''', '''s''')}}.

# If ''n'' is odd, {{nowrap|''s'' {{=}} ''a'''''X''' ''b'''''Y''' ''b'''''Z'''}} is obtained from some mode of the (primitive) MOS ''a'''''X''' 2''b'''''W''' by replacing all the '''W'''s successively with alternating '''Y'''s and '''Z'''s (or alternating '''Z'''s and '''Y'''s for the other chirality, fixing the mode of ''a'''''X''' 2''b'''''W'''). The two alternants differ by replacing one '''Y''' with a '''Z'''. In other words, ''s'' is ''odd-regular'' in our classification of MV3 scales.

By part (2), we have that ''s'' has step signature {{nowrap|''a'''''X''' ''b'''''Y''' ''b'''''Z'''}}, ''a'' odd. By part (4), we have that {{nowrap|''T''('''X''', '''W''') {{=}} ''s''('''X''', '''W''', '''W''')}} is a MOS scale ''a'''''X'''2''b'''''W'''. If {{nowrap|''b'' {{=}} 1}}, there's nothing to prove, so assume {{nowrap|''b'' > 1}}.
