D Ev F G A Bb C D

Maqam Bayati and Makam Uşşak can both be identified with maqamic[7] 2|4 b3 b6 (ssLLdLL).

* Ev is the 12/11~11/10 of D, so on D there is a nice 10:11:12:15:18 chord (a minor chord where Ev is a neutral second)

* Ev is the 11/6 of F, so on F there are interesting chords like 6:9:11 or 6:9:10:11.

D Eb F# G A Bb C D

Maqam Hijaz has two forms, one which can be identified with meantone[7] 1|5 #3 (meantone phrygian dominant), and another which differs by having a neutral sixth degree instead of a minor sixth.

* Bv is the 13/8 of D (in mohoho temperament), and there is a 8:10:12:13 chord on D.

* Bv is the half-augmented fifth of Eb, so the chords on Eb are quite dissonant.

C D Ev F G A Bb C

Maqam Rast has two forms, one that can be identified with maqamic[7] 2|4 #6 (equivalently maqamic[7] 0|6 b4), and another form with a minor seventh degree rather than a neutral seventh.

* Ev is the 11/9 of C, so the tonic chord is neutral (neither major nor minor). There is also a neutral seventh chord, C Ev G Bv.

* Ev is the 12/11~11/10 of D, so there is a nice 10:11:12:15:18 chord on D.

D Ev F Gb A Bb C Db E F

This alternate form of Saba "doesn't include the octave of the tonic", and includes another non-octave as well (Ev-E). It could possibly be thought of as a scale with more than 7 notes, but it's unclear to what extent it's used this way in traditional music.

==Sikah==  

Maqam Sikah has by far the largest number of neutral scale degrees relative to the tonic.

  D Ev F G A Bb C D&lt;br /&gt;

Maqam Bayati and Makam Uşşak can both be identified with maqamic[7] 2|4 b3 b6 (ssLLdLL).&lt;br /&gt;

Obviously this could be quite a powerful chord.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ev is the 11/9 of C, so there are neutral chords on C (between major and minor).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There is also a neutral sixth chord, G Bv D Ev.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ev is the half-diminished fifth of A, so chords on A are quite dissonant.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ev is the 11/8 of Bb, and there is a complete 8:9:10:11:12(:15) otonality on Bb.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chords with Ev and Bv as the root and fifth are very interesting because the root is on a &amp;quot;quarter tone&amp;quot;. There is a neutral triad, and a nice 8:11:12:13 chord on Ev.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bv is the 11/6 of C, and there are 6:9:11 and 6:9:10:11 chords on C as well as the neutral seventh chord.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bv is the 13/8 of D (in mohoho temperament) and there is a 8:12:13 chord on D as well as D F A Bv which is a minor w/ neutral sixth.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bv is the 11/8 of F, and there is a complete 8:9:10:11:12 otonality on F.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bv is the 11/9 of G, so there are neutral chords on G.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bv is the 12/11~11/10 of A, and there is a 10:11:12:18 chord on A (no fifth though).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
