What is true of it

E♭ Lydian is E♭, F, G, A, B♭, C and D, and back to E♭.

Its steps are W – W – W – H – W – W – H, where W is a whole step and H a half.

On the same tonic, E♭ major differs from it by exactly one note.

Across the first twelve frets of the ukulele its notes fall in 31 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
