The character of 14edo does not well serve those seeking low-[[limit]] JI approaches, with the exception of [[Subgroup|5:7:9:11:17:19]] (which is quite well approximated, relative to other JI approximations of the low-numbered edos). However, the [[ratio]]s 7/5, 7/6, 9/7, 10/7, 10/9, 11/7, 11/9, and 11/10 are all recognizably approximated, and if you accept that 14edo offers approximations of these intervals, you end up with a low-complexity, high-damage [[11-limit]] temperament where the [[comma]]s listed later in this page are [[tempered out]]. This leads to some of the bizarre equivalences described in the second "Approximate ratios" column in the table. While not very accurate as a temperament, 14edo in the 14c val can provide a mapping that can be used to classify intervals, which conveniently tempers out the square superparticulars of odds 5, 7, 9, and 11.
14edo is the double of [[7edo]], and thus contains its flat 686{{C}} fifth, while adding new intervals halfway between each 7edo step. The intervals of 14edo not found in 7edo are [[Backslash notation|1\14]] = 86{{C}}, 3\14 = 257{{C}}, 5\14 = 429{{C}}, 7\14 = 600{{C}}, and their [[octave complement]]s. The 1\14 interval is a small semitone, and its inversion a major seventh, which is suitable for a {{w|leading tone}}. The 3\14 interval can be considered a small [[subminor third]] (or inframinor third), thus bringing a new, distinct flavor from the [[neutral third]] of 7edo, which is 4 steps of 14edo. The 5\14 interval is the [[fifth complement]] of 3\14, and can be considered a [[supermajor third]], so that stacking 3\14 and 5\14 gives the triad 0–3–8 steps (0–257–686{{C}}). Finally, the 7\14 interval is the familiar [[tritone]] found in [[12edo]], as well as every even-numbered [[edo]].


14et has quite a bit of [[xenharmonic]] appeal, in a similar way to [[17edo|17et]], on account of having three types of 3rd and three types of 6th, rather than the usual two of [[12et]]. Since 14et also has a recognizable 4th and 5th, this makes it good for those wishing to explore alternative triadic harmonies without adding significantly more notes. It possesses a [[triad]]-rich 9-note [[mos scale]] of [[5L 4s]], wherein 7 of 9 notes are [[tonic]] to a subminor, supermajor, and/or neutral triad.
In terms of [[just intonation]], 14edo contains the approximation of [[3/2]] from 7edo. 14edo does not do well in the [[5-limit]], with [[5/4]] being close to halfway between its steps, so that 14edo does not approximate the [[4:5:6]] major triad or the [[10:12:15|1/(6:5:4)]] minor triad accurately. The closest approximation of [[7/4]] is very flat at 11\14 (943{{C}}), so that two of them stack to [[3/1]], meaning that [[49/48]] is [[tempering out|tempered out]], so that 14edo [[support]]s the [[semaphore]] temperament. However, since the 3rd harmonic is flat, the [[7/6]] and [[9/7]] intervals are approximated much more accurately, so that the 0–3–8 steps triad is a usable approximation of [[6:7:9]], and the 0–5–8 steps (0–429–686{{C}}) triad approximates [[14:18:21|1/(9:7:6)]]. The semaphore temperament notably generates the [[mos scale]] with pattern [[5L 4s]] (named ''semiquartal''), which contains many [[~]]6:7:9 and ~1/(9:7:6) triads. In the [[11-limit]], the [[11/8]] interval is tuned very flat and equated with [[4/3]]. However, [[11/9]] is tuned rather accurately, being represented with the 4\14 interval (343{{C}}), so that the [[Neutral (interval quality)|neutral]] triad formed by dividing the perfect fifth in two can be interpreted as a stack of two [[11/9]]'s, thus tempering out [[243/242]]. The neutral third can also be stacked on the supermajor third to get a ~[[7:9:11]] chord.


14edo contains an [[omnidiatonic]] scale that can replace the standard diatonic scale, allowing for recognizable triadic harmony using the chords [[6:7:9]] and [[14:18:21]], as well as a neutral chord which can be seen as [[2:sqrt(6):3]].
While prime [[5/1|5]] is poorly approximated, the [[7/5]] and [[11/10]] intervals are approximated fairly well. If we accept these approximations in addition to the ones described earlier, then we end up with a low-complexity, high-damage full [[11-limit]] temperament where many rather large [[comma]]s are tempered out. This leads to some of the bizarre equivalences described in the second "Approximate ratios" column in the table. This mapping uses the (barely) second-best mapping of prime 5, so it is notated with [[wart notation]] as "14c", where c is the 3rd letter of the alphabet, and 5 is the 3rd prime number. While not very accurate as a temperament, this mapping can be used to classify 11-limit intervals, which conveniently tempers out the [[square superparticular]]s of odds 5, 7, 9, and 11, and is the unique mapping to do so.
