These are meantone edos, wherein 81/80 is tempered out, so M3 ~ kM3 ~ 5/4, for example.

An astute reader, or a fan of 27edo, may be wondering "what about 27edo"? 27edo can be labelled using K/k and U/u (and N), though for 27edo this means using the 27e mapping, where 11/8 is mapped to it's second best approximation. 27e is generally preferred to 27p (patent 27edo, using the best approximation of 11/8 as well as the other primes in the 11-limit).
