The first three notes of a JI major scale – 1/1, 9/8, 5/4 – move by a step of 9/8 followed by a step of 10/9 (or alternatively 1/1, 10/9, 5/4 – move by a step of 10/9 followed by a step of 9/8). In systems where 81/80 is tempered out (in 12edo, [[19edo]], [[31edo]] and other [[meantone]] systems) that distinction is lost and this sounds like two equal-sized steps. In strict JI, the difference may be hard to notice at first.
