Scale structure
sLLLL
Generator size
Related MOS scales
Equal tunings
The scale with the lowest harmonic entropy for this MOS pattern is semaphore, in which two generators make a 4/3. The other interesting scale is orwell, in which the generator is approximately 7/6 and three of them make an 8/5.
All scales of this form are necessarily proper (because there is only one small step).
Names
The TAMNAMS system suggests the name manutonic, a name that is thematically inspired by the Latin word "manus".
