This is the tuning
F2-C2-E3-G3-D4-A4 (for a children's 53 cm scale length guitar)
The C2-E3-G3 is an open C major .
Because the intermediate strings F2-C2-E3-G3-D3 are of intervals of 5 and 3 apart, it allows for 3 rows of easy ordinary major and minor chord triads in 1-2 (rarely 3) frets! The privileged scale is the C major
ALSO NOTICE THAT THE ISOCRATIC INTERVALS OF 5 THAT ACCOMPANY FAST DANCING FREE MELODIES ARE THE F2-C2 , C2-(E3-)G3, G3-D4 THAT ARE THE IONIAN LYDIAN AND MIXOLYDIAN MODES C MAJOR SCALE.
For the oud and for a standard 66 cm scale length guitar one tone lower is more appropriate
Eb2-Bb2-D3-F3-C4-G4
with privileged scale the Bb major
The above tuning seems to be one with the almost maximum number of possible accompanying intervals of 5 which also allows for (here at least 2 rows) of easy 1 or 2 frets major-minor triads
