'''5L 5s''' is an octave-equivalent MOS scale pattern built with five repeating "Ls" (or "sL").

== Name ==
 
The [[TAMNAMS]] temperament-agnostic name is '''pentawood'''. The name "blackwood" is also used, although this is a misnomer as [[blackwood]] is an abstract temperament, not a concrete scale (a more proper name is "blackwood[10]").

There is only one significant harmonic entropy minimum with this MOS pattern: [[Archytas_clan|blackwood]], in which intervals of the prime numbers 3 and 7 are all represented using steps of [[5edo|5edo]], and the generator gets you to intervals of 5 like 6/5, 5/4, or 7/5.
