3L 2s<3/2>, or semiwolf, is a fifth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<3/2>" means the period of the MOS is 3/2, disambiguating it from octave-repeating 3L 2s. The name "semiwolf" comes from two generators approximating a wolf fourth.

Because semiwolf is a fifth-repeating scale, each tone has a 3/2 perfect fifth above it. The scale has three major chords and two minor chords, all voiced so that the third of the triad is an octave higher, a tenth. Semiwolf also has two harmonic 7th chords.

Basic semiwolf is in 8edf, which is a very good fifth-based equal temperament similar to 88cET.
