That Wikipedia is utter garbage, one of the worst Berkleeist treatments of tradition I have ever seen. It is far beyond repair, just needs to be trashed.

Freygish is not the same as hijaz even in its basic scale pattern. Essentially none of the different modes mashed together by that jazzer fuckwit have anything to do with each other.

At any rate there is nothing in Anglophone tradition uses a mode whose associated scale pattern has a major third (or microtonally flattened one) and a minor second.
