We call modes with a minor mos5th ''kata modes'' (from Greek for 'down'). The kata modes of the MOS are the 4 darkest modes, namely Mnarian, Kadathian, Hlanithian and Sarnathian. In kata modes, the melodically squashed fifth from the tonic downwards is the flatter 5th degree. Kata modes could be used to distort diatonic tropes that start from the tonic and work downwards or work upwards towards the tonic from below it.

~~=== Functional tonalities ===~~

For classical-inspired functional harmony, we propose the terms ''(Functional) Oneiromajor'' and ''(Functional) Oneirominor'': Oneiromajor for Illarnekian where the 6th degree (the rising fifth) can be sharpened, and Oneirominor for Ultharian where the 8th degree (the leading tone) can be sharpened. The respective purposes of these alterations are:

~~# in Oneiromajor, to have both major (requiring a sharpened 6th degree) on the flat fourth "subdominant" and the sharp fifth as "dominant"~~

~~# in Oneirominor, to have both the flat 8th degree as the dominant of the "mediant" (relative major) and the sharp 8th degree as leading tone~~

In key signatures, Oneirominor should be treated as Ultharian and Oneiromajor should be treated as Illarnekian. Note that Oneiromajor and Oneirominor still have the relative major-minor relationship; they are related by a major mosthird, just like diatonic major/minor.
