Rather
than these some other kinds in octave can be arranged. Safi al-Dîn
explains this with an example. Let's take the scale arranged with the
intervals of "the second conjunct kind" in the bass octave.

The
order of 9/8x10/9x16/15=4/3 here is the ratios of "the second conjunct
kind" with those of the first class. The third class of the same
kind is like 10/9x16/15x9/8=4/3. This third class here exists between
B and h. As it is mentioned here it is possible to see several more tetrachords
in this way in these scales. Safi al-Dîn calls them "bahr".
The tetrachord between B and h here is accepted as "second bahr". Also, C-V tetrachord is the ratios of "the second conjunct kind" with its sixth class and it is called as the "third bahr" in the scale. D-Z tetrachord is the "fourth bahr" and the ratios are the same as those of the first one. h-H tetrachord has the same values as those of the second tetrachord. Safi al-Dîn calls the total of these bahr (tetrachordal species) in one octave as "shadd". |
