One can think of 5L 4s 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. (In this fictional culture, these pentachords are called ''Lannin'', ''Zierokin'', and ''Vašmin'', respectively, and is part of a larger system of pentachords based around the semifourth.)

  • sLLsLsLsL Zierokian
  • sLsLLsLsL Vashmian
  • sLsLsLLsL Pahnachian
