; Mode 5: 5:6:7:8:9:10 — This is essentially a [[7-limit]] fully-diminished seventh chord. [[7/5]] makes a very nice tritone above the bass -- the simplest one available in JI -- and it's available in all the higher Over-5 modes as well. This is the scale used by the Wagogo people of Tanzania.

; Mode 10: 10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:20 — from 10 to 15 is a 3/2 perfect fifth. We have access to a 10:12:15 classic minor triad, as well as a number of other nice chords like the 10:13:15 barbados triad. 11/10 makes a strange second (or ninth), while 9/5 makes a very nice minor seventh (and an alternative to the 7/4 bluesy seventh of Over-1 scales and 11/6 neutral seventh of Over-3 scales.
