We call modes with a major mos5th ''ana modes'' (from Greek for 'up'), because the sharper 5th degree functions as a flattened melodic fifth when moving from the tonic up. The ana modes of the MOS are the 4 brightest modes, namely Dylathian, Illarnekian, Celephaïsian and Ultharian. | We call modes with a major mos5th ''ana modes'' (from Greek for 'up'), because the sharper 5th degree functions as a flattened melodic fifth when moving from the tonic up.

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.

=== Functinoal tonalities === | |||
For classical-inspired functional harmony, we use 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: | For classical-inspired functional harmony, we use 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.
