The below mode names are given in [[Modal UDP Notation|UDP notation]]. For porcupine[7], the chroma-aligned generator is the 9/5, or the 11/6 if you prefer. All generators below refer to this generator, NOT the 10/9 one. For an explanation of the spellings, see [[Porcupine Notation]]. William Lynch proposed the fun idea of naming modes of porcupine by various animal names.

William Lynch proposed the fun idea of naming modes of porcupine by various animal names, which are listed as "William's Name" below.


The scale's nominals can be named by the normal 7 tone alphabet starting G but some feel that with superpyth using the same nominals in an entirely opposite way, it may be beneficial to use an entirely different set of letters for porcupine which William Lynch created using old-English alphabet allowing for both porcupine[8] and porcupine[7] to be notated by leaving out "ð" from the scale.
