5L 4s tunings can be divided into two major ranges:
5L 4s tunings can be divided into two major ranges:
# "[[hard]]-of-center" 5L 4s, generated by semifourths flatter than 3\14 (257.14¢). This implies a diatonic fifth.  
# [[hard]]-of-basic 5L 4s, generated by semifourths flatter than 3\14 (257.14¢). This implies a diatonic fifth.  
#: The generator could be viewed as a 15/13, and the resulting "ultramajor" chords and "inframinor" triads could be viewed as approximating 10:13:15 and 26:30:39. See [[Arto and Tendo Theory]].

# "[[soft]]-of-center" 5L 4s, generated by semifourths sharper than 3\14 (257.14¢). This implies a "[[mavila]]" or superdiatonic fifth.

The [[TAMNAMS]] convention, used by this article, uses '''semiquartal''' (derived from 'half a fourth') for the 5L 4s pattern.
