In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''11/8''' is an undecimal [[superfourth]] of about 551.3[[cent|¢]]. Falling about halfway between [[12edo]]'s [[perfect fourth]] and [[tritone]], it is very xenharmonic. It is the simplest superfourth in JI. As an octave-reduced overtone, it is a basis of consonance in 11-limit JI, alongside the lower odd numbers 9, 7, 5 and 3. It can be found in harmonic series chords such as 4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12, sitting somewhere between the much stronger and more familiar consonances of 10 (5) and 12 (3). It is very well-represented in [[24edo]], making that system especially good for approximations of JI chords involving primes 3 and 11 such as 8:9:11:12.
