Equivalently, the generator could be a semifourth, two of which make a [[4/3]], so '''omega-dicot''' would mean the same thing. However, the preferred term is alpha-dicot.

Alpha-dicot temperaments usually generate the [[5L 4s]] MOS structure, named "semiquartal" after the semifourth generator, as well as the child scale [[5L 9s]]. Alpha-dicot temperaments tend to involve interseptimal intervals, which are in between conventional diatonic intervals.

As the comma is so small, the best tunings are close to just. The semitwelfth is around 951{{c}}, leading to a near-just twelfth.
