2L 6s, named subaric in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 2 large steps and 6 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 3 small steps that repeats every 600.0 ¢, or twice every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 450 ¢ to 600 ¢, or from 0 ¢ to 150 ¢. Two notable harmonic entropy minima for this MOS pattern are srutal/pajara and shrutar. They are both improper.

In addition to the true MOS form, LsssLsss, these scales also have an interesting near-MOS form, LssLssss, in which the period is the only interval with more than two interval varieties.

Name

TAMNAMS suggests the temperament-agnostic name subaric as the name of 2L 6s. The name references to how 2L 6s is the parent scale (or subset scale) of 2L 8s (jaric) and 8L 2s (taric).
