3L 2s<3/2> (sometimes called 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 27/20 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. Like all fifth-based temperaments, semiwolf is more convenient to notate with its nominals and accidentals repeating after multiple fifths so that e. g. its harmonic 7th chords will not spell as a voicing of tone clusters (1-7/6-5/4).
