We call modes with a major 4-step  ''ana modes'' (from Greek for 'up'), because the sharper 5th degree functions as a flattened melodic fifth when moving from the tonic up. The ana modes of the mos are the 4 brightest modes, namely Dylathian, Illarnekian, Celephaïsian and Ultharian.
We call modes with a minor 4-step ''kata modes'' (from Greek for 'down'). The kata modes of the mos are the 4 darkest modes, namely Mnarian, Kadathian, Hlanithian and Sarnathian. In kata modes, the melodically squashed fifth from the tonic downwards is the flatter 5th degree. Kata modes could be used to distort diatonic tropes that start from the tonic and work downwards or work upwards towards the tonic from below it. For example:
* Mnarian (LSLSLLSL) and Kadathian (SLLSLLSL) are kata-Mixolydians
* Hlanithian (SLLSLSLL) is a kata-melodic major (the 4th degree sounds like a major third; it's actually a perfect 3-step.)
* Sarnathian (SLSLLSLL) is a kata-melodic minor (When starting from the octave above, the 4th degree sounds like a minor third; it's actually a diminished 3-step.)
