There is only one significant (though small) harmonic entropy minimum with this MOS pattern: [[Porcupine_family#Hedgehog|hedgehog]], in which two generators are 6/5 and three are 4/3, same as porcupine.

In spite of being a multi-MOS, 6L 2s is a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]], because it has one extra large step compared to diatonic ([[5L 2s]]): for example, the Ionian diatonic mode LLsLLLs can be warped to the ekic mode LLLsLLLs.
6L 2s can be seen as a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]], where one additional large step is added to diatonic (5L 2s).


In addition to the true MOS, LLLsLLLs, there is also a near-MOS, LLLLsLLs, in which the period is the only interval with more than two flavors. The true MOS is always proper, because there is only one small step per period, but the near-MOS is only proper if the generator is smaller than 2\14 (which includes hedgehog).  
In addition to the true MOS, LLLsLLLs, there is also a near-MOS, LLLLsLLs, in which the period is the only interval with more than two varieties. Although the true MOS (LLLsLLLs or its rotations) is proper, the near-MOS is only proper if the generator is smaller than 2\14 (which includes hedgehog).
