BIRCH, the Binary Interval Region Classification Hscheme, utilizes prefixes with rigid definitions to specify any interval size to a given degree of accuracy.

50-cent quarter tones are used as the base step size to be subdivided in this system, as follows, where k is the neutral or perfect interval size in 24edo:

Level 1:

Size Prefix Example size Example name
k-100 infra- 250 infrathird
k-50 minor 300 minor third
k neutral 350 neutral third
k+50 major 400 major third
k+100 ultra- 450 ultrathird
