[[Blackdye]], [[Zil]][14], and [[bicycle]] are examples of flought scales, because they each have two interleaved strands, respectively Pyth[5], Zarlino, and 8:9:10:11:13:14. The terminology, however, is intended to cover any number of strands and any choice of strand scale.

The term ''flought'' was coined by [[Inthar]] by evolving the Old English past participle ''(ġe)flohten'' of the verb ''fleohtan'' 'to weave; to plait' into a hypothetical Modern English "neocognate" to the Modern English words ''plait'' and ''plexus''.

# The following is a necessary and sufficient condition for floughtenability. Let ''S'' be a scale with equave ''E'', <math>\mathcal{D}_k(S)</math> be the set of all ''k''-step intervals of ''S'', and Δ be a chord such that every interval of Δ falls within (0, ''E''). Then the polyoffset chord Δ floughtens ''S'' if and only if no nonunison (positive) interval in Δ falls within <math> [\min \mathcal{D}_k(S), \max \mathcal{D}_k(S)]</math> for any ''k'' ∈ {0, ... len(''S'') - 1}.
