Talk:Ditonic scale

Diatonic scale
I reverted this article, removing the text "constructed using two types of intervals" from, saying "not found in Diatonic scale article". Hyacinth (talk) 02:10, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The "dia" in diatonic comes from a Greek root meaning "through," also used in "diabetes." It is not connected to "two."__ Just plain Bill (talk) 02:56, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep. The article on "diatonic scale" is perfectly clear about this, and Greek "dia-" (δια-) is also found in "diameter", "diaspora", and "diarrhea". However, it is a fact that "di" means "two" in the word "idiot", which etymologically means "hasn't got two brain cells to rub together".—Jerome Kohl (talk) 03:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
