In [[19edo]], in contrast, the *double* diminished second vanishes, so the equivalences are A1~d2, A2~d3, A3~d4, A4~dd5, AA4~d5, A5~d6, A6~d7, and A7~d8. Thus some intervals are undeniably septimal, but ambiguously so because 49/48 vanishes.

More complex meantone edos such as [[31edo]] distinguish all intervals listed on this table.
