'''6L 2s''' ~~or '''echinoid''' in [[Inthar's MOS naming scheme]] (after [[hedgehog]] temperament)~~ is a MOS scale with a half-octave period and a generator larger than 1\8 and smaller than 1\6. There is only one significant (though small) harmonic entropy minimum with this MOS pattern: [[Porcupine_family#Hedgehog|hedgehog]], in which two generators are 6/5 and three are 4/3, same as porcupine.

'''6L 2s''' is a MOS scale with a half-octave period and a generator larger than 1\8 and smaller than 1\6. There is only one significant (though small) harmonic entropy minimum with this MOS pattern: [[Porcupine_family#Hedgehog|hedgehog]], in which two generators are 6/5 and three are 4/3, same as porcupine.

In addition to the true MOS, LLLsLLLs, there is also a near-MOS, LLLLsLLs, in which the period is the only interval with more than two flavors. The true MOS is always proper, because there is only one small step per period, but the near-MOS is only proper if the generator is smaller than 2\14 (which includes hedgehog).

== Names ==

This MOS is called '''echinoid''' in the [[TAMNAMS]] scheme (after [[hedgehog]] temperament).
