The word classic is often used in names of intervals, chords, or scales as a synonym for 5-limit, e.g. "classic chromatic semitone" (as opposed to "Pythagorean chromatic semitone", in which Pythagorean stands for 3-limit). However, in light of the fact that other more complicated 5-limit intervals exist, and the fact that some people might interpret "classic" as including other classes of interval, one could easily add the word "pental" to this descriptor to make "classic pental", and this can in turn be shortened to "classipent".
