8/1, the 8th harmonic or octuple, is the harmonic past 7/1 and before 9/1. It is equal to a stack of three octaves.

Terminology

Analogously with tritave and pentave, the expected derivation would be octave, but that is already the name for 2/1. Hence, no name of that format is given for 8/1.

Octuple is a proposed term which relates itself to the ancient Greek concept of multiples. It also fixes the problem of using part of the word octave.
