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). | In practice, usually only the first five are used.

One can think of 5L 4s modes as being built from two pentachords (division of the perfect fourth into four intervals) plus a whole tone. The possible pentachords are LsLs, sLLs, and sLsL. (In this fictional culture, these pentachords are called ''Lannin'', ''Zierokin'', and ''Vašmin'', respectively, and is part of a larger system of pentachords based around the semifourth.) | One can think of 5L 4s modes as being built from two pentachords (division of the perfect fourth into four intervals) plus a whole tone.
