A '''nemi''' or '''NEMI''' (near-equivalent modal intonation) is a scale which approximates some non-JI scale by dividing a JI equave with a subset of a mode of the harmonic series. The term ''neji'' may informally be used for nemis, e.g. "neji Lydian". | A '''nemi''' or '''NEMI''' (near-equivalent modal intonation) is a scale which approximates some non-JI scale by dividing a JI equave with a subset of a mode of the harmonic series.

Nejis and nemis are both defined via intention rather than a mathematical definition. For both nejis and nemis, the "near-equal/equivalent" is fuzzy; for nemis, any periodic JI scale is a subset of some (possibly very high) harmonic series segment, making "subset of some harmonic segment" mathematically trivial. | |||
