The name could do a better job of making it clearer than this is not the original mavila tuning. "Avila temperament" does a good enough job of this to get a good star rating, but something that more overtly states that it's not real mavila, like "mavilesque temperament" or "almovila temperament" would push it up to 5 stars.

==== Kartvelian ====
The inventor of the [[Kartvelian scale]] wrote a lot of dodgy stuff, claiming that his tuning was the exact same one that is actually used in [[Georgian|Georgia]], erasing all the nuances of how Georgian music is actually tuned. If I was rating based on all that, this entry would get 1 star.
However, I am rating only the name of the scale itself, not anything else the creator has said. And the name itself is pretty great! It’s named after the main language family in and around Georgia. I think that’s a great way to give credit to the source of inspiration, without claiming to be the same thing as it.
So, everything else the inventor said about the Kartvelian scale, one star. But the name itself? Four stars! It’s great!
