The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

**Ditave** is an alternative name for the interval [[Octave]], which was proposed to neutralize the terminology against the predominance of 7-tone scales. The name is derived from the numeral prefix //δι//- //di-// (Greek for two) in analogy to "[[Tritave]]" (3/1). A brief but complementary description about it is [[purdal/Ditave|here]].

**Diapason** is another term also sometimes applied to the 2/1 interval (octave). It is also of Greek origin, but not related to the number two; instead it is formed from //διά// //dia// + //<span class="new">πασων </span>////pason//, meaning something like "through all the notes".
