11edo has a good approximation of [[9/7]], hence one natural approach to harmony in 11edo is to generate chords from stacks of this interval. Incidentally, correcting the tuning of 9/7 to just tuning and stacking this interval has the beneficial side effect of also improving the tuning of the 17th harmonic to almost exactly just intonation, with an error of only 0.3 cents. It may therefore be worth considering this JI tuning as an alternative to 11edo.
