'''5L 4s''' refers to the structure of [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 1\5 (one degree of [[5edo]] = 240¢) to 2\9 (two degrees of [[9edo]] = 266.7¢). In the case of 9edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 5edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the five equal L's).
The familiar harmonic entropy minimum with this MOS pattern is [[Meantone_family#Godzilla|godzilla]], in which a generator is [[8/7|8/7]] or [[7/6|7/6]] (tempered to be the same interval, or even 37/32 if you like) so two of them make a [[4/3|4/3]]. However, in addition to godzilla (tempering out 81/80) and the 2.3.7 temperament [[Chromatic_pairs#semaphore|semaphore]], there is also a weird scale called "[[Pseudo-semaphore|pseudo-semaphore]]", in which two different flavors of [[3/2|3/2]] exist in the same scale: an octave minus two generators makes a sharp 3/2, and two octaves minus seven generators makes a flat 3/2.

One can think of godzilla[9] modes as being built from two pentachords (division of the perfect fourth into four intervals) plus a whole tone. The possible pentachords are LsLs, sLLs, and sLsL.
