	"The division is notable for the fact that it is related to the [[turkish cent]], or türk sent, which divides 106edo into 100 parts just as ordinary cents divides 12edo into 100 parts, thereby making it the [[relative cent]] division for 106edo. Conversely, it makes the Pythagorean [[relative cent]] (or pion, symbol π<sup>¢</sup>, π<sup>r¢</sup>), which most closely approximates equally dividing an exact [[3/2]]." What is the pythagorean relative cent, exactly? Is it a hundredth of a 3/2, 7.01955{{c}}? If so, then 106edo's step isn't very close to it, and it is much closer to the step of [[171edo]]. Or is it close to the türk sent, and is the step of [[6200edf]] (106edo with the fifth just rather than the octave, and split into 100 steps)? IMO, there shouldn't really be a "Pythagorean relative cent" because Pythagorean tuning isn't an equal-step tuning. This sentence is very confusing and needs to be rewritten or deleted.--[[User:Overthink\|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink\|talk]]) 00:49, 18 November 2025 (UTC)		"The division is notable for the fact that it is related to the [[turkish cent]], or türk sent, which divides 106edo into 100 parts just as ordinary cents divides 12edo into 100 parts, thereby making it the [[relative cent]] division for 106edo.
