In [[31-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''40/31''' is either the '''tricesimoprimal semidiminished fourth''' or '''tricesimoprimal supermajor third'''. It is sharp of the [[81/64|Pythagorean major third (81/64)]] by [[2560/2511]], and flat of the [[4/3|perfect fourth (4/3)]] by [[31/30]]. It can be used as a [[generator]] tuning for the [[sensi]] temperament, and more accurate interpretations of the extended harmony of the [[5-limit]] [[sensipent]] temperament. In this context, it is equated to its complement relative to [[5/3]], that is, [[31/24]].
In [[31-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''40/31''' is either the '''tricesimoprimal semidiminished fourth''' or '''tricesimoprimal supermajor third'''. It is sharp of the [[81/64|Pythagorean major third (81/64)]] by [[2560/2511]], sharp of the [[9/7|septimal major third (9/7)]] by [[280/279]], and flat of the [[4/3|perfect fourth (4/3)]] by [[31/30]].
 
In general, it can serve as an alternative sharp [[major third (interval region)|supermajor third]] to [[9/7]], which is flat of it by [[280/279]], for greater flexibility in [[otonal]] chords containing intervals that do not have a 7 in their denominator.
