Wouldn't '''middle major second''' better fit to [[19/17]]? The name '''septimal major second''' isn't already taken. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 10:08, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

: ... and the other mediant derivative of 19/17, [[29/26]] could claim the name "middle major second" as well. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 10:18, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

: '''Septimal major second''' is [[8/7]] (it was me who added this name to the 8/7 page, but it has been on [[Wikipedia: Septimal whole tone]], which referenced Harry Partch's book). [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 10:36, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

:: Okay, thanks you remind me of a fact I already knew but obviously forgot. Any ideas how to proceed with the naming ([[29/26]] needs one, 29 is ''ventinove'' in Italian and ''viginti novem'' in Latin). --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 11:47, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

::: 28/25 may be the '''hemithird''' for it's the generator of [[hemithirds]]. 

::: The Latin numeral terms are derived from ordinals. Given 23 is "vicesimotertial", I'm pretty sure 29 is "vicesimononal", but I'm not sure 29/26 is ''the'' vicesimononal major second. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 07:18, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

:::: Thanks for the research. This absolutely makes sense. I'll add it to [[29/26]], maybe there are also other names (addressing certain properties), but this is a good start. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 13:18, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

::::: I've seen "undetricesimal" on some of the XenWiki pages for 29-limit intervals - which version is official? [[User:Secretcoffee|Secretcoffee]] ([[User talk:Secretcoffee|talk]]) 18:41, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

:::::: It's down to personal preferences. My peculiar pick for 19 is ''undevicesimal'' over ''novendecimal'' and for 29 is ''vicesimononal'' over ''undetricesimal''. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 04:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
