However, 5\30 is 200{{c}}, which is a good (and familiar) approximation for 9/8, and hence 30edo can be viewed inconsistently, as having a 9/1 at 95\30 as well as 96\30.

Instead of the 18\30 fifth of 720 cents, 30edo also makes available a 17\30 fifth of 680 cents. It is possible to interpret this fifth as [[mavila]] temperament using the 30bc [[val]], but the 360-cent [[5/4]] may be undesirable for some. When 30edo is used for pelogic, 5\30 can again be used inconsistently as a 9/8. An alternative option which uses the somewhat more accurate 400-cent [[5/4]] is [[shallowtone]] temperament using the 30b [[val]], although it is of very high [[badness]], being both high-[[error]] and high-[[complexity]]. [[Undecimation]] is also an option.

It is possible to interpret this fifth as [[mavila]] temperament using the 30bc [[val]], but the 360-cent [[5/4]] may be undesirable for some. As a mavila fifth, it can also be interpreted as trismegistus, which uses the sharper fifth as 3/2 while keeping the flatter fifth as a scale generator.
