Mojannab
From Xenharmonic Reference
Mojannab is a type of neutral interval in Iranian classical music corresponding to the neutral second. Functionally, it represents two unequal divisions of the minor third. Applicable theoretical definitions and classifications were introduced by al-Farabi[1] (870–951 CE) and Safī al-Dīn al-Urmawī[2] (1216-1294 CE).
