In theory, the six possible ''pezům''s, or pentachords, with large (2\14) and small (1\14) steps that build up a scale are: | |||
# ''pezům Qykabavin'': 2211 | |||
# ''pezům Lannin'': 2121 (The modern ''Lannie'' mode of the semiquartal scale is made of two ''pezům Lannin''.) | |||
# ''pezům Qahdiebin'': 2112 | |||
# ''pezům Zierokin'': 1221 (The modern ''Zierokie'' mode begins with a ''pezům Zierokin''.) | |||
# ''pezům Vašmin'': 1212 (The modern ''Vašmie'' mode is made of two ''pezům Vašmin''.) | |||
# ''pezům Nobbaxin'': 1122 | |||
In practice, usually only the first five are used. The two ''pezům''s may be disjunct (separated by a major second), or conjunct (either spanning a minor seventh above the root or the major second above the root). | |||
The top note of a ''pezům'' functions similarly to the ''ghammāz'' in Arabic ''ajnās''. | |||
A style that emphasizes ''pezům''s is preferred for dark, mournful or creepy music (to emphasizing ''pezům''s). | |||
