A similar generalization, a larger subset of product words, and a superset of PWF scales are ''pairwise-DE scales'', defined for rank-3 scales such that equating any pair of steps (tempering out their difference, if we involve mappings), leads to 3 DE scales, or equivalently, MOS scales. We may also call these pairwise MOS scales.

Pairwise-DE scales have MV3. Pairwise-DE scales that are not PWF are not trivalent; and one of the DE scales / MOS scales found by equating a pair of steps of such scales is a Multi-MOS, which is DE / MV2, but does not demonstrate Myhill's property.
