Here the characterizations are taken from [[Scala]], which also describes the scale itself as "Pelog Nawanada: Sunda". Chords such as 1/1 - 7/6 - 49/36 - 12/7 are therefore natural ones for 9edo. The above scale generates the [[just intonation subgroup]] 2.27/25.7/3, which is closely related to 9edo.
