LOCHRYAN
Idim,bII but not practical for folk music.

There are variations of all of these modes such as Hungarian Lydian and Slavic Phrygian....there are a lot of scale books on the market that would enumerate them.

I guess Ted is right. Boethius. But they were perpetuated by the Catholic Church in their liturgical music.

For the best ear-training and memorization...sing 'em.
