	A '''subfifth''' is an ~~interval too narrow to sound like a~~ [[~~perfect fifth]] and too wide to sound like a [[tritone~~]]~~.

The interval is normally considered~~ a ~~[[16/11]]~~ and ~~is quite harsh regardless of timbre, but some are worse than others~~. ~~Regardless of what the name suggests, a subfifth isn't really a type of perfect fifth but rather can be thought of as related to the tritone, however, the~~ [[~~interval~~]] ~~really is~~ a ~~class in it's own right~~.

In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a subfifth if it is reasonably mapped to [[7edo\|4\7]] and [[24edo\|13\24]] (precisely four steps of the diatonic scale and six and a half steps of the chromatic scale).

	~~See~~ [[16/11]] or [[22/15]] ~~for examples~~.		As a concrete [[interval region]], it is typically near 650{{cent}} in size. It is too narrow to sound like a [[perfect fifth]] and too wide to sound like a [[tritone]]. [[Margo Schulter]], in her article [http://www.bestii.com/%7Emschulter/IntervalSpectrumRegions.txt Regions of the Interval Spectrum], proposes an approximate range for a subfifth to be from 640{{cent}} to 672{{cent}}. Of course, this categorization should not be taken for granted. Since music is subjective and culturally influenced, the borders of what is a superfourth are "fuzzy". Other descriptions are possible and legitimate.

			Some of the simplest subfifths in [[just intonation]] are [[16/11]] (about 649{{c}}) and [[22/15]] (about 663{{c}}), both undecimal (11-based) subfifths; and [[35/24]] (about 653{{c}}) and [[72/49]] (about 666{{c}}), both septimal (7-based) subfifths.

			The inversion of a subfifth is a [[superfourth]].
