The notes in that case are Muhayyer, Sümbüle, Tiz Çârgah, Tiz Neva.
This is equivalent to having a Buselik makam on top of Neva.
Comparison with Western scales 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, allows for such comparisons.Note: This is because 48 is divisible by 12.
The approximation of Acemli Rast within 48-TET would be: Phrygian
