47edo is the first edo that has two [[5L 2s|diatonic]] perfect fifths, as both fall between {{nowrap|4\7 {{=}} 686{{c}}}} and {{nowrap|3\5 {{=}} 720{{c}}}}. The fifth closest to [[3/2]] is 12.593-cent flat, unless you use the alternative fifth which is 12.939-cent sharp, similar to [[35edo]]. The soft diatonic scale generated from its flat fifth is so soft, with {{nowrap|L:s {{=}} 7:6}}, that it stops sounding like [[meantone]] or even a [[flattone]] system like [[26edo]] or [[40edo]], but just sounds like a [[circulating temperament]] of [[7edo]]. The hard diatonic scale generated from its sharp fifth is extremely hard, with {{nowrap|L:s {{=}} 9:1}}. It has therefore not aroused much interest, but its best approximation to [[9/8]] is actually quite good, one-third-of-a-cent sharp.

It has therefore not aroused much interest, but its best approximation to [[9/8]] is actually quite good, one third of a cent sharp. The flat fifth is too flat to support [[meantone]]–in 47edo's [[patent val]], [[81/64]] is mapped to a 357-cent neutral third. Instead 47edo supports the rather counterintuitive [[deeptone]] temperament where [[5/4]] is represented by an augmented third, [[6/5]] by a diminished third, and [[81/80]] actually becomes negative making 81/64 flatter than 5/4.  


47edo is one of the most difficult diatonic edos to notate in [[native fifth notation|native fifths]], because no other diatonic edo's fifth is as extreme.
