'''Orwell''' – so named because 19 steps of [[84edo]], i.e. 19\84, is a possible generator – is an excellent [[7-limit]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] and an amazing [[11-limit]] temperament because of the simplicity of [[harmonic]] [[11/1|11]].

In orwell, [[8/5]] is divided into three equal steps, each of which represent [[7/6]], so that [[1728/1715]] ({{S|6/S7}}) is tempered out. ~~Alternatively,~~ the [[5/1|5th harmonic (5/1)]] is divided into 3 equal steps that represent [[~]][[12/7]]. After two 8/5's (six generators), [[9/7]] is found by [[tempering out]] the marvel comma, [[225/224]], and thus the [[3/1|just perfect twelfth (3/1)]] is divided into 7 equal steps.

In the 11-limit, two generators are equated to [[15/11]] and [[11/8]] (meaning [[99/98]] and [[121/120]] are tempered out). This means that three stacked generators makes the [[orwell tetrad]] 1–7/6–11/8–8/5, a chord in which every interval is a (tempered) 11-odd-limit consonance. Other such chords in undecimal orwell are the [[keenanismic chords]] and the [[swetismic chords]]. A far more complicated mapping of 11 at 33 generators, tempering out [[441/440]] instead, is also possible and is known as [[newspeak]] temperament.
