9L 5s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 9 large steps and 5 small steps, repeating every octave. 9L 5s is a child scale of 5L 4s, expanding it by 5 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 257.1¢ to 266.7¢, or from 933.3¢ to 942.9¢. The generator can be said to approximate 7/6, but just 7/6 is larger than 2\9edo, so it cannot be used as a generator. The simplest just interval that works as a generator is 36/31. Two generators are said to create a fourth like Godzilla, but in reality it is closer to 27/20, if that is considered a consonance. 9L5s is third smallest MOS of Semiphore.
