+==== Oneirotonic scales ====
+edo admits [[oneirotonic]] scales based on the 16\41 or 25\41 generator, but these can be tricky to play on the Kite guitar, since they have five odd-numbered steps rather than three as in the scales listed above. For example, the Celephaisian mode has the step size pattern 7 2 7 7 2 7 7 2. This can be modified (with the general effect of softening the scale) by using 3-arrow intervals (m2) and 4-arrow intervals (^m2 or A1) for the small steps. To balance these out, the large steps would have to be primarily 6-arrow (vM2). To get the general oneirotonic feel, a 7-arrow large step (M2) is preferred over a 5-arrow one (~2) in the event that a large step with an odd number of arrows is needed.
+An example of a modification to Celephaisian is 6 4 7 6 3 6 6 3. Modifications to oneirotonic modes generally add a perfect fifth or a perfect fourth above the tonic if we want the steps with odd numbers of arrows to be roughly evenly distributed. One notable exception is 3 6 4 7 6 3 6 6, a modification of Sarnathian and the eighth mode of the modified Celephaisian.
