[[15edo]] - 5edo with thrice the notes to approximate 5-intervals as well. Somewhat awkward to notate with 5ths notation. Lacks a good 9/8, making it sound somewhat unusual melodically. Not really a fan of the n2s, which are the building block of porcupine, but MODMOS scales based on it look interesting.

[[17edo]] - 3,1-diatonic. Has even more extreme thirds than 12edo. The m3 is closer to 7/6 than 6/5, making minor chords more consonant than major. Because of this, it's suitable for minor pieces.

[[19edo]] - 3,2-diatonic. Relatively washed-out feel. 2\19 isn't so effective as a leading tone, and 1\19 is verging on "too small" for me. Okay septimal intervals, but not as good as 31edo. That being said, it's a relatively small meantone EDO, and semaphore is interesting.

[[22edo]] - 4,1-diatonic. Relatively small EDO with good 3s and 5s. (Or at least one with a different relationship between them.) 7s are okay, but I'm not interested in 11 or higher. Haven't played much with this EDO because of the syntonic comma.
