3L 2s<3/2>, or semiwolf, is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<3/2>" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating [[3L 2s]]. The name "semiwolf" comes from two generators approximating a wolf fourth. | '''3L 2s<3/2>''', or '''semiwolf''', is a fifth-repeating MOS scale.

Because semiwolf is a fifth-repeating scale, each tone has a 3/2 perfect fifth above it. The scale has three major chords and two minor chords, all voiced so that the third of the triad is an octave higher, a tenth. Semiwolf also has two harmonic 7th chords. | Because semiwolf is a fifth-repeating scale, each tone has a 3/2 perfect fifth above it.
