Line 277:

* Mnarian (LSLSLLSL) and Kadathian (SLLSLLSL) are kata-Mixolydians

* Hlanithian (SLLSLSLL) is a kata-melodic major (the 4th degree sounds like a major third; it's actually a perfect mosfourth.)

* Sarnathian (SLSLLSLL) is a kata-melodic minor (When starting from the octave above, the 4th degree sounds like a minor third; it's actually a diminished ~~fourth~~.)

* Sarnathian (SLSLLSLL) is a kata-melodic minor (When starting from the octave above, the 4th degree sounds like a minor third; it's actually a diminished mosfourth.)

When used in an abovetonic way, the darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes. Because the fifth and seventh scale degrees become the more consonant minor tritone and the minor sixth respectively, the flat tritone sounds more like a stable scale function. Hlanithian, in particular, is a lot like a more stable version of the Locrian mode in diatonic.
