5L 3s has a pentatonic MOS subset [[3L 2s]] (SLSLL). (Note: [[3L 5s]] scales also have 3L 2s subsets.)

The [[TAMNAMS]] system, used by this article, uses the name '''oneirotonic''' (/oʊnaɪrəˈtɒnɪk/ ''oh-ny-rə-TON-ik'' or /ənaɪrə-/ ''ə-ny-rə-'') or 'oneiro' for short. The name ''oneirotonic'' (from Greek ''oneiros'' 'dream') was coined by [[Cryptic Ruse]] after the Dreamlands in H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle mythos.

'Father' is sometimes also used to denote 5L 3s, but it's a slight misnomer, as [[father]] is technically an abstract [[regular temperament]], not a generator range. A more correct way to say it would be 'father[8]' or 'father octatonic'. "Father" is also vague because optimal generators for it also generate [[3L 2s]].
