'''Neutral third scales''' are characterized by the division of the 3/2 "perfect fifth" into two equal "neutral thirds". It usually refers to a MOS or MODMOS generated by a neutral third (usually from 342.9c in [[7edo]] to 360c in [[10edo]]).

One possible temperament interpretation is that the neutral third generator can be taken to represent either 11/9 or 27/22. This means the comma 243/242 is tempered out.
