The Kürdî makam has a higher extension, starting from Muhayyer, with the steps of the Kürdî tetrachord. The notes in that case are Muhayyer, Sümbüle, Tiz Çârgah, Tiz Neva. [1]
This is equivalent to having a Buselik makam on top of Neva.
Since the makam is based on 53-TET, it is impossible to directly tie it to 12-TET Western scales. However, using the 48-TET model, while worse than many other models in approximation, [3] allows for such comparisons. [4]
The approximation of Acemli Rast within 48-TET would be: Phyrgian
