A ''haṅier'' (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''buri'' (pentachords or hexachords) or a ''pezeom'', a pentatonic subset where 1\24 is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use. | A ''haṅier'' (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''buri'' (pentachords or hexachords) or a ''pezeom'', a pentatonic subset where 1\24 is not used as a step.

In theory, the six possible ''buri''s that build up a scale are: | |||
#0-200-400-450-500 | |||
#0-200-250-450-500 | |||
#0-200-250-300-500 | |||
#0-50-250-450-500 | |||
#0-50-250-300-500 | |||
#0-50-100-300-500 (rare) | |||
The two ''buri''s may be conjunct (consecutive, spanning a minor seventh) or disjunct (separated by a major second). | In practice, usually only the first five are used. The two ''buri''s may be conjunct (consecutive, spanning a minor seventh) or disjunct (separated by a major second). | ||
The top note of a ''buri'' functions similarly to the ''ghammaz'' in Arabic ''ajnas''. | The top note of a ''buri'' functions similarly to the ''ghammaz'' in Arabic ''ajnas''. | ||
