Theory
988edo provides excellent tuning for the 2, 3, 5, 11, 13, 19, 37, 43, 47, 53, 59th harmonics and a reasonable tuning for 23, 29, 31, 41st harmonics, making a strong higher-limit system. In lower limits, it is enfactored in the 17-limit, with the same tuning as 494edo, which is notable for being a zeta edo. If considered in the 19-limit, it provides a good correction for the 19th harmonic over 494edo. The comma basis for 988edo in the 19-limit is {1156/1155, 1275/1274, 1445/1444, 1716/1715, 2080/2079, 2431/2430, 4096/4095}.
An alternate mapping for 17 would be the 988g val, where it tempers out 2025/2023, 13013/13005, 15625/15606, 31213/31212. In addition, in the 988ccd val it is a tuning for quadritikleismic temperament in the 7-limit.
Higher limits
In the 2.5.11.13.19.29.31 it supports period-52 temperament called french deck, with the tempering out of 6656/6655 inherited from 494edo.
988edo is similar to 2016edo in the fact that both tune well the 2.5.11.13.19.41.47 subgroup. The result is the 988 & 2016 temperament, which reaches 13/8 in four generators and has a comma basis {7943/7942, 322465/322373, 16777475/16777216, 22151168/22150865, 12998046875/12994428928}.
As an interval size measure
One step of 988edo is named semisqub, given the strong relation to 494edo and the fact that 1 step of 494edo is called a squb.
