It occurs to me that triads are complex in Mothra and Mothra[11] doesn't have any major triads. As a rule, you shouldn't have a polynomial of degree greater than the number of notes in your rank two scale if the genrators are all contiguous. Below I give degree one and degree seven versions of Mothra[11].
