'''3L 2s<3/2>''' (sometimes called '''uranian'''), is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<3/2>" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating [[3L 2s]]. The name of the period interval is called the '''sesquitave''' (by analogy to the [[tritave]]). It is a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]] because it has one extra small step compared to diatonic ([[3L 1s (~~fifth~~-equivalent)]]): for example, the Ionian diatonic fifth LLsL can be distorted to the Oberonan mode LsLLs.

The generator range is 234 to 280.8 cents, placing it in between the [[9/8|diatonic major second]] and the [[6/5|diatonic minor third]], usually representing a subminor third of some type (like [[7/6]]). The bright (chroma-positive) generator is, however, its fifth complement (468 to 421.2 cents).
