-A '''neji''' or '''NEJI''' (pronounced /nɛdʒi/ "nedgy"; for "near-equal/equivalent [[just intonation]]") is a JI scale that approximates a given (usually non-JI) scale by using JI scale steps. A neji that approximates an edo is thus a [[circulating temperament]] for that edo.
+A '''neji''' or '''NEJI''' (pronounced /nɛdʒi/ "nedgy"; for "near-equivalent [[just intonation]]") is a [[JI]] scale that is "nearly-equivalent" to an associated ''target scale'' (or ''target'' for short). This target is often (but not always!) equipped with a ''scale logic'' (that is, a [[mapping]]); ''in that case only'', a neji is a type of [[detempering]]. Nejis are designed with a focus on the harmonic resonance of the pitches in mind w.r.t their foreseen musical use. If the target scale is an [[edo]], a neji is therefore technically also a type of [[well temperament]] for that edo.
