'''11/10''', the '''large undecimal neutral second''' or '''undecimal submajor second''', is an interval favored by {{w|Ptolemy}}. Depending on who you ask, this interval, on its own, is either considerably more or considerably less exotic than [[12/11]] or a number of other simple [[11-limit]] intervals. If tempered sharp one could make the argument that it functions a bit more like a narrowed [[10/9]] in light of its usage in such a capacity in systems like [[41edo]] and [[63edo]] where 11/10 and 10/9 are tempered together (so that [[100/99]] is tempered out). Meanwhile, when tuned just or near-just, it functions as almost exactly a third of [[4/3]], a very xenmelodic role corresponding to tempering out [[4000/3993]].

Depending on who you ask, this interval, on its own, is either considerably more or considerably less exotic than [[12/11]] or a number of other simple [[11-limit]] intervals. If tempered sharp, however, one could make the argument that it functions a bit more like a narrowed [[10/9]] in light of its usage in such a capacity in systems like [[41edo]] and [[63edo]] where 11/10 and 10/9 are tempered together due to [[100/99]] being tempered out. Meanwhile, when tuned just or near-just, it not only has the very exotic melodic role of being almost exactly a third of [[4/3]], leading to the tempering out of [[4000/3993]], but is also very close in size to a stack consisting of an [[apotome]] and [[33/32]], leading to the tempering out of the [[schisma]].  Assuming you go with either of the aforementioned options, keeping 11/10 distinct from 12/11 ensures that 11/10 has a way of bridging quartertone-based chords with more typical [[5-limit]] and Pythagorean chords as a sort of step between notes, however, if you temper out [[121/120]], expect this ability to vanish.
