Semiquartal, also known as 5L 4s, is a MOS pattern consisting of 9 steps, with pattern LLsLsLsLs. It is supported by 14edo, 19edo, and 24edo, among others. Like mosh, semiquartal contains many intervals almost exactly between 12edo intervals, which improves xenness. Unlike mosh, semiquartal triads have vaguely major or minor qualities.

Generator Notes
1\5 Collapsed.
||||||| 9\44 Notable archy. Better as a larger scale.
