Template:Fractional-octave navigation 5edo is the smallest xenharmonic system, as 1edo, 2edo, 3edo and 4edo are all subsets of 12edo.

The most notable 5th-octave family is limmic temperamentstempering out 256/243 and associates 3\5 to 3/2 as well as 1\5 to 9/8, producing temperaments like blackwood. Equally notable among small equal divisions are the cloudy temperaments – identifying 8/7 with one step of 5edo.

Quint preserves the 5-limit mapping of 5edo, and the harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator. In what way is this useful is unexplained.
