+'''17/8''' is the distance between the 17th and the 8th harmonic. It spans the size of 1304.95541 [[cent]]s. It is essentially a large septendecimal semitone ([[17/16]]) but one [[octave]] higher.
-This interval spans the size of 1304.95541 cents.
+This interval is a near-perfect approximation of the minor ninth in [[12edo]], with an error of only ~5 cents, stemming from 12edo's near-perfect approximation of the [[2.3.17.19 subgroup]].
