The scale is an alternating pattern of [[4edf]] and [[3ed4/3]], joined together and closing at the octave. As a result, it can be considered an [[equiheptatonic]] scale, with a hardness of about 1.05. It can also be considered a [[MODMOS]] of a form of [[4L 3s]] generated by a subneutral third of 341.5{{c}} with the [[ploidacot]] signature of 8-sheared dodecacot; [[28/23]] is a good interpretation of this [[generator]] in [[EDO]]s that contain a Kartvelian scale, such as [[123edo]] or [[130edo]].
