Apparently, it belongs to no particularly important temperament. However, it becomes a compressed [[12edo]] scale when you ignore the octave (this obviously does not work when the generator is very near 12edo (within -7/24{{cent}} of it), for the 13th degree of the scale registers as identical to the octave for human listeners, and it becomes indistinct from 13edo or [[1L 11s]] in the 1.75{{cent}} above 1\13 because the large and small steps register as identical to one another for human listeners).

It does not have many [[regular temperament]] applications.

This MOS is sometimes called ''quasidozenal''{{idiosyncratic}}, a term meant to invoke the phrase "almost twelve". The original proposer of this term is not confirmed, but it might be one of sylvanScreech, [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] or [[User:Ganaram inukshuk|Ganaram inukshuk]].
