41edo admits an [[archaeotonic]] scale with L = 6\41 (also the generator) and s = 5\41; this is also the closest that 41edo gets to 7edo. This scale isn't really awkward to play as a scale on the Kite guitar, though it slides up to the next rainbow zone. Scales approximating harder archaeotonic scales are possible, with the small step being 2, 3 or 4 arrows and the large step 6, 7 or 8 arrows. | 41edo admits an [[archaeotonic]] scale with L = 6\41 (also the generator) and s = 5\41; this is also the closest that 41edo gets to 7edo.

When the small step is 3 arrows, the most even-sounding scale would have two 7-arrow large steps and four 6-arrow large steps. To avoid three consecutive notes on different strings, we can choose between these patterns: | |||
* uparchaeotonic: 6 7 6 7 6 6 3 | |||
* symarchaeotonic: 6 7 6 6 7 6 3 | |||
* downarchaeotonic: 6 6 7 6 7 6 3 | |||

To get uparchaeotonic modes from symarchaeotonic modes, the notes in bold are raised an edostep, and for downarchaeotonic modes, the underlined notes are lowered an edostep. Exceptions are the upoukranian mode and the downlobonian mode, listed separately. | |||
