Its measuring unit is the **shruti** (sometimes spelled šruti, sruti or shruthi), which roughly corresponds to a quartertone. There are 22 shrutis per octave, 13 per fifth and 9 per fourth. A size of 4 sruti for the major whole tone follows from that. The step sizes of the heptatonic scales ([[shadja grama]], [[madhyama grama]]) are given as sequences of 4, 3, and 2 sruti
