47edo has a fifth which 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 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]]. 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 does a good job of approximating the 2.9.5.7.33.13.17.57.69 23-limit [[k*N_subgroups|2*47 subgroup]] of the [[23-limit]], on which it tempers out the same commas as [[94edo]]. It provides a good tuning for [[Chromatic_pairs#Baldy|baldy]] and [[Chromatic_pairs#Silver|silver]] temperaments and relatives.

47edo is a diatonic edo because its 5th falls between 4\7 = 686{{cent}} and 3\5 = 720{{cent}}, as does its alternate 5th as well. 47edo is one of the most difficult diatonic edos to notate, because ~~no other diatonic edos 5th~~ is as flat (see [[42edo]] for the opposite extreme).

A notation using the best 5th has major and minor 2nds of 7 and 6 edosteps respectively, with the naturals creating a 7edo-like scale:
