Having 11 large steps and 2 small steps, this MOS family is the first which is true Arcturus scale. However, it still has slightly smeary intonation regarding the generator (or major sixth), This smearing causes 3g to be so flat that it tritave reduces into the syntonic continuum of fifths, thus making these scales ridden with pseudo-octaves and pseudo-fifths. Note that a just [[5/3]] is too sharp to generate this MOS, instead generating the sister MOS {{MOS scalesig|2L 11s<3/1>|link=1}}.

[[Arcturus]] temperament tunings with ~5/3 flatter than 6 steps of [[13edt]] will generate this MOS, but [[Arcturus]] temperament tunings with ~5/3 sharper than 6 steps of [[13edt]] will instead generate the sister MOS {{MOS scalesig|11L 2s<3/1>|link=1}}.
